James Hamilton (1814-1867) was a Scottish Presbyterian minister who served as an assistant to Robert Candlish before moving to London as minister of the Scotch Church in Regent Square, London. He wrote on a variety of subjects but this work on Moses is now his best known, published posthumously from manuscript notes of the original lectures delivered to his church, evidently in the process of preparation for publication.
Each lecture takes an aspect of the life and character of Moses and is full of rich application. Anyone preparing messages on the life of Moses will want to consult this as it is full of suggestive material, but it is eminently readable by all.
