Mighty in the Scriptures. A Memoir of Adolph Saphir.D.D. by Gavin Carlyle.

Publisher: John F. Shaw and Co., 1893, First Edition.

Hardback, no jacket. Binding firm, boards are marked, rubbed, chipped and frayed with some loss of cloth and repairs to spine. Tanning and foxing to pages, a number of inscriptions to ffep, tissue guard to frontispiece is foxed. 448 pages plus publisher's adverts.

The life of Dr. Saphir was one of remarkable interest, not so much in its variety of incidents, as in its early associations, and in the striking personnel of the man. This is seen in his thorough Jewish type of mind and intellect, intensified by the genius of the Saphir family, in the freshness and originality of his ideas and expressions, and above all, in his spiritual power - his deep insight into the meaning of Scripture and the relations of its different parts.
