This work is particularly valuable for its illustration of the Epistle to the Hebrews by the aid of Rabbinical learning: it is replete with doctrinal and experimental remarks. A well executed abridg ment of it was published in 4 vols. 8vo. 1790, by the late Dr. Edward Williams, of which a new edition was printed in 1815, 4 vols. 8vo.

Professor Braun or Braunius is well known for several valuable pieces elucidating sacred antiquities. His commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews, in the opinion of J. B. Carpzov, is one of the best ever edited. It is indeed truly valuable for its illustrations by the aid of Rabbinical learning and the author is particularly able in refuting the perverse interpretations of the celebrated Socinian teacher, Schlichtingius.

This forms part of the work noticed in p. 134. No. 72. of this Appendix. "Some of the sentiments," says Professor Stuart, "differ widely from those of Owen, and are such as ought to be examined with great caution; but the work, as a whole, exceeds any English commentary which I have read. The author has a great deal of acuteness, and is by no means wanting in regard to a tact for criticism." (Stuart on the Epistle to the Hebrews, vol. i. p. 286. American edition, or p. 346.

Lipsia, 1815, royal 8vo.

These Academic Lectures of Ernesti were delivered by that eminent scholar and divine while he was professor of divinity at Leipsic. They have been edited from his corrected copy, with various important additions by Professor Dindorf, who succeeded him in the Hebrew chair at Leipsic. These are included between brackets, with the initial letter D., and require to be read with caution, Prof. Dindorf's sentiments on the person of Christ not being the most correct. On some of the earlier chapters there are also some marginal observations of an anonymous pupil of Ernesti's, which are distinctly marked. Professor Stuart characterizes it as "a book of real worth in a critical respect, although not executed with much taste as to form and matter.' (On the Epistle to the Hebrews, vol. i. p. 287. American edition; or p. 347. London edition.)

equal credit to himself, and benefit to the Theological Seminary at Andover. To borrow the just character given of his labours by the English editor (the Rev. Dr. Henderson):-"It was impossible for any person who had perused the former works of our author not to hail with high anticipations the present production as a most valuable accession to biblical literature. Intimately acquainted with the minutiae of Hebrew grammar; familiar with the diversified style of the sacred writers; trained by long study of the laws of biblical exegesis to a refined and matured tact in seizing the point, the bearing, the various shades and ramifications of meaning The object of this disquisition is to prove the Pauline origin of couched under the sacred phraseology; imbued with a sincere the Epistle to the Hebrews, from the coincidence of sentiments love of divine truth, and a profound reverence for its dictates; and, and expressions which the author conceives he has found between withal, endowed with a manly and richly cultivated intellect, he the Epistle to the Hebrews and some of Seneca's writings; which possesses qualifications peculiarly fitting him for the performance coincidence, he is of opinion, cannot be fortuitous, but is solely to of a work replete with so many difficulties as that of a Translation be derived from Paul's intimate acquaintance with the Roman and Critical Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews. The Philosopher. He further argues in favor of the historical tradition ordeal to which this important portion of Scripture has been sub-respecting Paul's intimacy with Seneca, and endeavours to show, jected by the wild and extravagant hypotheses of some of the from internal criteria of time, that the Epistle to the Hebrews was master-spirits of German theology, rendered it a matter of impe- written during the continuance of that intimacy. The hypothesis rious necessity that some champion, completely accoutred and dis- is maintained with great ingenuity, though it will not (we appreciplined to, the battle, should step forward and take up the gauntlet hend) carry conviction to the minds of its readers. which they have so fearlessly and vauntingly thrown down. If we mistake not, such a champion has here entered the field, and won the day. Questions respecting style, authorship, and interpretation, which men of such celebrity as Eichhorn, Bertholdt, De Wette, and others, were considered to have completely set at rest, have been submitted to a fresh and rigid investigation; and in most instances triumphantly, in all more or less satisfactorily, the very reverse of their conclusions has been shown to be in accordance with the real facts of the case." (Preface to the English edition,

p. v.)

The topics discussed in the FIRST VOLUME, in forty sections, are the form of the epistle; to what church or churches it was addressed; its antiquity and canonical authority; the external and internal evidence that it was written by the apostle Paul, who is most decisively shown to have been its author. The various objections of Bertholdt, Schulz, Seyffarth, De Wette, and Boehme, are discussed, and satisfactorily refuted: to them succeeds a consideration of the style of the epistle and of the hypotheses advocated by some learned men, who have severally ascribed it to Barnabas, Luke, Clement of Rome, and to Apollos. These hypotheses are shown to be destitute of foundation. The volume concludes with a brief notice of the "Critical and Exegetical Helps" to the study of this epistle. The SECOND VOLUME commences with a new translation of the Epistle to the Hebrews, the object of which is to give a more exact view of the features of the original Greek than is presented by the authorized English version. This translation is followed by an admirable continuous commentary upon the whole epistle. When difficulties demanded special and extended investigation, he has thrown the result of such investigation into excursus at the end, after the method pursued by Heinrichs, Koppe, Dindorf, and other German philologers and critics; because difficult subjects can there be treated and studied with more convenience, and also more fully, than if intermixed with the usual series of exegetical notes. The London reprint has been edited with great care by the Rev. Dr. HENDERSON.

"With the idiom and spirit of Paul's writings, I cannot help thinking him to be but very moderately acquainted. On questions of higher criticism he details with a good deal of brevity and accuracy what others have said; but he adds nothing to the stock of thought already before the world."

In this work, the received Greek text of the Seven Catholic Epistles is retained, and the punctuation is corrected where the editor deemed correction necessary. The new Latin version, which is printed with the Greek text, is very close: and in his scholia or notes Professor Carpzov has vindicated his rendering of particular passages, or discussed various readings of importance; and has also illustrated the peculiar idioms occurring in these epistles, especially those of St. John.
