Excerpt from Books and Their Use: To Which Is Appended a List of Books for Students of the New Testament

SO certain recent commentaries by princely expositors notably those on some of the Pauline Epistles by the late Bishop Lightfoot, those on the Hebrews and the writings of St. John by his friend and successor, Bishop Westcott contain extended discussions, in the form of Excursuses or Detached Notes, of topics incidentally started by the Biblical author, but which one would hardly expect to find elaborately discussed in a commentary: for instance, the dissertations on Essenism, on the fictitious correspondence between St. Paul and Seneca, on the Celtic origin of the Galatians, in the volumes by Lightfoot; or those on the relations between Christianity and art, on pre-christian sacrifices and priesthood, etc., in those by Westcott.
