The lecturer is elected annually on the 20th of November — the subject to be determined at the time of election by the board — and the course consists of six sermons, delivered in the college chapel after morning service. Among the lectures printed are Graves, Lectures on the Pentateuch (1807, 2 volumes, 8vo, London); Sadleir, On the Dispensations (Dublin, 1822, 2 volumes, 8vo); Kennedy-Baillie, The Mosaic Record of Creation (London, 1826, 8vo); Todd, The Prophecies relating to Antichrist (Dublin, 1840-46, 2 volumes, 8vo); McDonnell, On the Atonement.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
