Expositions of Holy Scripture Ephesians; Epistles of St. Peter and St. John   By: Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)

A number of typographical errors have been corrected, and two minor changes have been made to the book's formatting. There is a full list of emendations at the end. The book's inconsistent hyphenation has been preserved, with an educated guess made as to whether those hyphens appearing at ends of the line were intended by the author, or just added because the word was broken at that point.
