Extraet from the Translator* s Préface,

"The fourteenth édition of the Hebrew Grammar of Gesenius is now oflfered to the public by aie translator of the eleventh édition, by whom this work was first made accessible to students ia the English language. The conviction expressed in his préface to that édition, that its publication in this country would subserve the interests of Hebrew literature, has been fully sustained by the resuit. After a full trial of the mérita of this work, both in America and in England, its repuklication ii now demanded in its latest and most improved form.

" Of the gênerai character of this grammar it is unnecessary to speak. It passed through thirteen éditions with continuai improvements from the author's own hand. The fourteenth édition was prepared, after the death of Gesenius, by his friend and former pupil, Prof. Rôdiger, one of the most accurate oriental scholars of the âge, who for some time lect.ured on Hebrew Grammar in the University at Halle, with the work of Gesenius for his text-book. Traces of his accurate seholarship are found, in the form of corrections and additions, in every part of the work ; ane> some portions hâve been re-written, but on the same gênerai philological principles, and in the lame spirit as the preceding éditions.

" The exercises, which follow the translation, are designed to facilitate the study of the gr%mmnx. They were prepared after several years' observation, as a teacher, of the difficulties which •mbamiss the student in his first attempt to learn an oriental language. They hâve been usée! with great advantage by a teacher under my direction duringthe lastseven years, and by teachew in other Institutes.

"The notes to the Chrestomnthy hâve been prepared on the plan which every teacher of expérience will appreciate, of re-printing nothmg which is contained in the grammar; and what if equally important, of repeating nothing which has once been stated and learned. On a différent plan, the same amount of information might easily hâve been extended over a hundred pages, end with no other effect than to retard the real proficiency of tha learner. The Exercises ané* Ohrestomathy hâve been carefully revisftd, and the numerous références, in which it is belierei ■et an error remaini, hâve been adapted to this édition of the grammar.
