Inexplicably, this classic by W. G. Blaikie has not been reprinted as often as most of the other volumes Spurgeon gave his highest commendation to. The Klock & Klock edition the lone exception.

Spurgeon praised Blaikie as a writer and said the work supplied a great lack of quality works on David. 

The present copy is neatly inscribed by the author, neatly bound in full divinity calf, and is a rather tidy example.
