Excerpt from The Modern Reader's Bible: A Series of Works From the Sacred Scriptures Presented in Modern Literary Form, the Proverbs The best work on The Proverbs is by the late Van der Palm of Leyden. It extends to eight volumes octavo, and has passed through three editions but all its author's fine fancy and eloquence and wealth of ethical wisdom are locked up in the language of his native Nether lands. In our own tongue we have excellent translations by the Rev. G. Holden and Dr. Noyes, who have shown good taste and judgment in departing as little as possible from the words of the Authorized Version. As an explanation of the successive precepts and maxims of the book, the student will find almost all that he requires in the Paraphrase of Bishop Patrick; and many of our readers are already acquainted with Laws from Heaven for Life on Earth, in which the Rev. W. Arnot has expounded and enforced its successive lessons with the sagacity of a profound observer and the affectionate fidelity of a true-hearted pastor, and in language so terse and sententious that many of his pithy sayings deserve in their turn to pass into proverbs.
