New York: J. Emory and B. Waugh, 1832. Royal Octavo Stereotype Edition. Hardcover. This is a single volume ONLY -- Volume IV --out of a 6-volume set. This Volume IV contains the books of Jeremiah through Malachi from the Old Testament in the Bible. The other five volumes are NOT present.
For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Adam Clarke’s Commentary was the standard Bible commentary in Methodist, Wesleyan, and many other evangelical circles. Charles Spurgeon called it “a work of gigantic scholarship” and one of the best commentaries available in his day. This verse-by-verse commentary includes: Detailed exegetical notes on almost every verse, extensive use of original languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic); critical, historical, and geographical background information; theological observations and practical applications; lengthy introductions to each book of the Bible; and discussion of textual variants, ancient versions, and rabbinical interpretations.
Again, this listing is for one book out of six -- VOLUME IV ONLY -- and is NOT the complete set.
This is from the "Royal Octavo Stereotype Edition" published in 1832. Bound in beautiful polished full tree calf leather. Gilt lettering on red and brown leather spine labels. Dual columned. Indexed. 554 pp.
CONDITION: Covers show light edge-wear, but leather is well-preserved, clean and glossy. Hinges sturdy inside and out. A few small stains on spine and front board. Mild foxing. Pages are sturdy and tightly bound. Penciled family history of book ownership and bookplate on slightly creased flyleaf. Name stamped on title page - no other writing or markings in the book.

This stately volume is both visually appealing and functional. Even though it's only Volume IV, it is LOVELY copy, feels very nice in hand, and gives a through commentary of the books Jeremiah through Malachi in the Old Testament. Full refund if not satisfied. Very Good.
