Lightfoot discusses relevant sources and at times even provides them in the original language and translation.
But Lightfoot goes both ways -- I've skipped a massive essay (a book in itself) on Roman succession; in one of the Polycarp volumes there is a massive tome on calendars and dating that is beyond me. Stuff like that I skip over; maybe it'll come in handy some day.
Lightfoot does do a ton of work with citations of the writings in later literature and also with canonical citations in the writings that might be hard to find elsewhere.

  Joseph Barber Lightfoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Barber Lightfoot (April 13, 1828–December 21, 1889) was an English theologian and Bishop of Durham.
Before Lightfoot's time, commentaries had frequently consisted either of short homilies on particular portions of the text, or of endeavours to enforce foregone conclusions, or of attempts to decide with infinite industry and ingenuity between the interpretations of former commentators.
Lightfoot endeavoured to make his author interpret himself, and by considering the general drift of his argument to discover his meaning where it appeared doubtful.

 Anglican Theological Review: Lightfoot's "woman": Scribal transmission and the victorian reporter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In this sermon, Lightfoot challenges women to become more active in various aspects of outreach, to follow the biblical models of women leaders in church history, and to model their lives on Christ.
The other is an oddly truncated text, published in a book of Lightfoot's sermons, but acknowledged there as the transcription of an unknown Victorian reporter; the reporter's text is the first widely published version of the sermon.
The comparison ultimately suggests that Lightfoot, a shy, conservative, and celibate bishop who spent his life surrounded by men, held in fact a more progressive vision of women's religious leadership potential than his Victorian audience would admit.

It was due to Lightfoots support almost as much as to his own great merits that Westcott was elected to the chair on the 1st of November 1870.
He now occupied a great position for which he was supremely fitted, and at a juncture in the reform of university studies when a theologian of liberal views, but universally respected for his massive learning and his devout and single-minded character, would enjoy a unique opportunity for usefulness.
The years in which Westcott, Lightfoot and Hort could thus meet frequently and naturally for the discussion of the work in which they were all three so deeply engrossed formed a happy and privileged period in their lives.

He now occupied a position for which he was supremely fitted, at a point in the reform of university studies when a theologian of liberal views, but universally respected for his massive learning and his devout and single-minded character, had a unique opportunity to contribute.
Supported by his friends Lightfoot and Hort, he threw himself into the new work with extraordinary energy, sacrificing many of the privileges of a university career in order that his studies might be more continuous and that he might see more of the younger men.
