Brief Memoir of the Life and Writings of the Late Rev. John Gill, D. D (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Brief Memoir of the Life and Writings of the Late Rev. John Gill, D. D The late Dr. John Gill was, in various respects, so distinguished an individual, whether we have regard to his talents, his industry in improving them, the eminence to which he attained in oriental and classical literature, or his christian character, that one may be justly surprised so little is generally known of his life and labours. Were we to have recourse to any of our biographical dictionaries for information on the subject, we should find the article dismissed in about twenty lines, giving us a meagre outline of the place of his birth, his family, education, and the various publications with which he enriched the literature of his country, while the most interesting and instructive parts of his biography are wholly unnoticed. The reason of this is, that the only full and authentic account of this great and learned man, is that which was compiled by the late Dr. John Rippon, his successor in the work of the ministry, and prefixed to Dr. Gill´s "Exposition of the Bible," in nine volumes, quarto - of course accessible only to those who happen to be in possession of that laborious undertaking, the number of whom must be comparatively few.
