Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Epistles of Paul to the Epliesians, Philipians, and Colossians. By Albert Barnes. New York: Harper & Brothers.

The learning and industry which distinguish these Notes are points about which we have heard little difference of opinion. Not the least interesting portion of the work is the Introduction, which embraces an account of the situation of Ephesus, and the character of its people, as well as of the advent of the Gospel among them — also notices of the History of its Church — of the time and places of writing the Epistle — with an inquiry as to its object and to whom it was written. This Introduction is illustrated with two wood engravings of the present Ephesus.
