Excerpt from The Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets: Translated From the Original Hebrew; A Commentary, Critical, Philological, and Exegetical The increasing demand for the English edition of Dr. Henderson's Commentary on the Minor Prophets, suggested an application to the author for permission to reprint it in this country. The following note contains his very kind and courteous consent: Mr. Draper: Dear Sir, - Impressed with a sense of your honorable conduct in consulting me prior to the reprinting of a cheaper edition of my Commentary on The Minor Prophets, I feel no hesitation in granting you the sanction you desire, on the terms specified in your letter of November 4, 1856. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, E. Henderson, D. D. Mortlake, Surrey, Nov'r 20, 1856. P. S. Enclosed you will find a list of corrections, copied from my husband's memoranda. S. H. Not only have the corrections referred to been made in the present edition, but it was found desirable, also, to verify all the quotations in the Oriental languages, so that the whole work has now been thoroughly revised. This, with other causes, has contributed to delay the publication till the present time. We have to regret that, meanwhile, the venerable author has ceased from his labors, and passed to his reward. It seems fitting that a short biographical sketch of his useful and eventful life should accompany this volume, as a tribute to his memory among those who will receive the benefits of his studies and labors, but who may not have access to the full biography prepared by his friends.
