134. Hermanni WITSI Ægyptiaca et Aquacy; sive de Ægyptiacorum Sacrorum comparatione cum Hebraicis Libri tres, et de decem tribubus Israelis Liber singularis. Accesit Diatribe de Legione Fulminatrice Christianorum sub imperatore

compiled from the biblical labours of upwards of fifty of the most distinguished critics, both British and foreign. In the event of a new translation or revision of our authorized version of the Holy Scriptures, this little book cannot fail of being eminently useful. Its value would have been enhanced if the compiler had specified

the sources or authors of each emendation.

130. An Illustration of the Method of explaining the New Testament by the early opinions of Jews and Christians concerning Christ. By W. WILSON, B.D. Cambridge, at the University Press, 1797, 8vo.

"Though not expressly presented to the public as a refutation of Dr. Priestley's History of Early Opinions,' and other works concerning the person of Christ, this performance is unquestionably to be received in this light. The author constantly keeps in view the arguments of this work just mentioned, and nearly passes over the same ground, in order to prove that the historical fact, relating to the opinions of the first Christians, is the reverse of that which the doctor has represented, and consequently that the inference respecting the true meaning of the New Testament is directly contrary to that of the unitarian hypothesis. It would be injustice to the ingenious writer of this reply," to Dr. Priestley, "not to allow him, unequivocally, the praise of having written, in a perspicuous and correct style, a learned and well-digested tract, and of having conducted his part of the controversy with urbanity and candour." (Analytical Review, vol. xxvi. pp. 368. 372.)

138. The Truth of Revelation, demonstrated by an Appeal to existing Monuments, Sculptures, Gems, Coins, and Medals. London, 1832, 12mo.

"This interesting book is clearly the production of a mind pious and cultivated, enriched by science and enlarged by various information; adapted especially to guard the young against the too welcome theories of skepticism: it will also afford to the general reader both gratification and improvement. It chiefly consists of striking facts deduced from the labours of modern inquiry, of allusions gleaned from literature, of memorials of past events scattered over the relics of by-gone times, in sculptures, gems, and medals; and its object is, to apply these various materials to the illustration and establishment of the sacred records; as well as to express the conviction, that the foundations of a scriptural hope are not to be shaken by advancing knowledge, nor ultimately injured by the rash assaults of a class of men, who, aspiring to be deemed the that the stimulus by which their industry is excited is the vain votaries of philosophy, give too much reason for the suspicion, expectation of some discovery adverse to the Christian religion, rather than zeal for the promotion of science." (Eclectic Review, July, 1832, vol. viii. N. S. p. 14.)

4. The Hebrew Concordance adapted to the English Bible; disposed after the method of Buxtorf. By John TAYLOR [D.D.] of Norwich. London, 1754-57. In two volumes, folio.

This is one of the most laborious and most useful works ever published for the advancement of Hebrew knowledge, and the understanding of the Old Testament in its original language. It is, in fact, a Grammar, Lexicon, and Concordance, founded on the Concordance of Buxtorf, all whose errors Dr. Taylor has corrected. He has also inserted the word or words by which any Hebrew word is

change or difference in the two texts is diligently remarked: and Dr. T. has added all the words (about one hundred and twenty-one in number) which Buxtorf had omitted; together with the particles out of Noldius. This invaluable work was published under the patronage of all the English and Irish bishops, and is a monument to their honour, as well as to the learning and industry of its author. The price of this Concordance varies from nine to twelve guineas, according to its condition.

§2. CONCORDANCES TO THE SEPTUAGINT GREEK VERSION. 1. Conradi KIRCHERI Concordantiæ Veteris Testamenti Græcæ, Ebræis vocibis respondentes, uxor. Simul enim et Lexicon Ebraico-Latinum. Francofurti, 1607, 2 tomis, 4to.

This laborious work, which is a Hebrew Dictionary and Concordance, is strongly recommended by father Simon, when treating on the best methods to be adopted in undertaking any new translation of the Scriptures. It contains all the Hebrew words in the Old Testament, introduced in an alphabetical order, and underneath is the Greek version of them from the Septuagint, followed by a collection of the passages of Scripture in which those words are differently interpreted. Considered as a first essay, Kircher's Concordance possesses considerable merit. It is, however, now superseded by

2. Abrahami TROMMII Concordantiæ Græcæ Versionis vulgo dicta LXX. Interpretum. Amstelædami et Trajecti ad Rhenum, 1718, 2 vols. folio.

In this elaborate and valuable work, the order of the Greek Alphabet is followed; the Greek word being first given, to which are subjoined its different acceptations in Latin. Then follow the different Hebrew words, which are explained by the Greek word in the Septuagint version. These different Hebrew words are arranged under the Greek in their alphabetical order, with the passages of Scripture where they occur. If the word in question occurs in Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, or any of the other ancient Greek interpreters of the Old Testament, the places where it is found are referred to at the conclusion of the quotations from the Scriptures; and immediately after these all the passages in the Apocrypha are specified, where the word occurs. The work is terminated by a useful Index, a Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon, a Greek Lexicon to Origen's Hexapla (by Montfaucon), and a succinct collation (by Lambert Bos) of the Frankfort and Roman editions of the Septuagint. This work is beautifully printed. (Bibliographical Dictionary, vol. iii. p. 42.)

§ 3. CONCORDANCES TO THE GREEK TESTAMENT. 1. Concordantiæ Græcæ Novi Testamenti, ab Henrico STEPHANO. Genevæ, 1594, folio. Et cum Supplemento, Geneæv, 1600, folio.

This Concordance is noticed here, to put the student an his guard, as it may generally be purchased at a low price. It is so carelessly executed, that some critics suppose Henry Stephens not to have been the editor of it: and that he lent his name to the work for pecuniary considerations.

2. Novi Testamenti Græci Jesu Christi TAMEION, aliis Concordantiæ; ita concinnatum, ut et loca reperiendi, et vocum veras significationes, et significationum diversitates per collationem investigandi, ducis instar esse possit. Opera Erasmi SCHMIDII, Græc. Lat. et Mathem. Prof. Accedit nova præfatio Ernesti Salo monis Cypriani. Lipsim, 1717, folio. Glasguæ et Londini, 1819, 2 vols. 8vo. Londini, 1830, 48mo.

The best Greek Concordance to the New Testament. The Glasgow reprint of 1819 is beautifully executed. The London edition of 1830 was printed under the superintendence of the late Mr. William Greenfield. "By omitting the unimportant proper names, the indeclinable particles, the pronouns, and the verb substantive; -by substituting simple references for citation when the word occurs only four or five times, or when there are two or more passages strictly parallel, in which case one only is given and the others are referred to; alterations which detract nothing from the usefulness of the edition; the ponderous labours of Stephens and Schmidt are here screwed into something less than a pocket volume; and, what is more, for six shillings the biblical student may possess himself of a work at one time scarce and dear, in a form that will take up no room on his table, and which ought scarcely ever to be off of it." (Eclectic Review, February, 1832, vol. vii. N. S. p. 159.) This edition is very neatly printed."

3. A Concordance to the Greek Testament, with the English version to each word; the principal Hebrew roots, corresponding to the Greek words of the Septuagint; with short critical Notes, and an Index. By John WILLIAMS, LL.D. 4to. London, 1767. "The lovers of sacred literature will find this work very useful in many respects: it is compiled with great pains and accuracy." (Monthly Rev. O. S. vol. xxxvi. p. 400.)

4. CONCORDANCE TO THE LATIN VULGATE. Sacrorum Bibliorum Vulgatæ editionis Concordantiæ, HUGONE Cardinali auctore, ad recognitionem jussu Sixti V. Pont. Max. adhibitam, recensita atque emendatæ operâ et studio Francisci Luca Brugensis. Antverpiæ, 1606, folio; 1612, 1617, 4to. Venetiis, 1612, 4to. Lugduni, 1615, 4to. Geneva et Francofurti, 1625, 4to. Parisiis, 1635, 1638, 1646, 4to. Coloniæ Agrippinæ, 1684, 8vo. Avignon, 1786, 2 tomis, 4to.

The first attempt towards a concordance to the Latin Bible was made in the middle of the thirteenth century by Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro, of whose invention of the division of chapters an account is given in Vol. I. Part I. Chap. IV. p. 213. He is said to have employed five hundred monks of the Dominican order in selecting, and arranging in alphabetical order, all the declinable words of the Old and New Testaments; but the fact of so many monks being employed is questionable. It is supposed that the work was at first less voluminous than it afterwards became, and that it increased by frequent revisions and improvements. (Townley's Biblical Illustrations, vol. i. p. 483.) Le Long has given a list of several Latin Concordances (Bibl. Sacra, tom. i. pp. 457, 458. folio edit.); but the revision of Cardinal Hugo's work by Lucas Brugensis is considered to be the best of the numerous editions through which it has passed. That printed at Cologne is reputed to be the most beautiful; but the Avignon edition is the most complete.

§ 5. CONCORDANCES TO THE ENGLISH BIBLE. 1. A Concordace, that is to saie, a Worke wherein by the ordre of the letters of the A. B. C. ye maie redely finde any worde conteigned in the whole Bible, so often as it is there expressed or mencioned. By Jhon MARBECK. London, imprynted by Richard Grafton, m. d. 1. folio.

The first Concordance to the English Bible: an account of it may be seen in Dr. Townley's Biblical Illustrations, vol. iii. pp. 118-120. It was preceded by a Concordance to the New Testament, compiled and printed by Thomas Gibson, about the year 1536.

Old and New Testament, or a Dictionary and Alphabetical 2. A Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures of the Index to the Bible. In two parts. By Alexander CRUDEN, M.A. London, 1763; 1810; 1824; 4to. Also various editions in royal 8vo. Philadelphia, 1830, imperial 8vo.

The first edition of this well-known and most useful Concordance appeared at London in 1737. The edition of 1763 is the third and last of those corrected by the author, and is usually considered as the best, from his known diligence and accuracy in corit to be repeatedly printed, but not always with due regard to acrecting the press. The value of Cruden's Concordance has caused curacy. The London edition of 1810, however, is an honorable exception; every word, with its references, having been most carefully examined by Mr. Deodatus Bye (formerly a respectable printer), who voluntarily employed some, years in this arduous task; for which he is justly entitled to the thanks of every reader of the Holy Scriptures. The London edition of 1824 is a reprint of that published in 1810. Another very accurate edition was printed a few years since at the press of Messrs. Nuttall and Co. of Liverpool, who employed a person to collate and verify every word and reference. The typography of the reprint at Philadelphia is very neatly executed; and its editor professes to have corrected more than ten thousand errors in the references, which had escaped the eye of the London editors.

3. A New Concordance to the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament; or a Dictionary and Alphabetical Index to the Bible, together with the various significations of the principal words, by which the true meaning of many passages is shewn. By the Rev. John BUTTERWORTH. London, 1767; 1785; 1816; 8vo.

of Mr. Cruden's Concordance. Singular pains were bestowed by This is in a great measure a judicious and valuable abridgment its compiler, in order to insure correctness, by collating every word and reference in the proof sheets with the several texts of the Bible. The second edition of 1785 is considerably improved. The third impression of 1816 has some alterations in the definitions, made by Dr. A. Clarke; who has reprinted the original of the passages so altered. Those who cannot afford to purchase Cruden's work will find this of Mr. Butterworth extremely valu

able.

Description of other Objects, whether natural, artificial, civil, religious, or military; and the application of the Appellative Terms, mentioned in the Old and New Testament. By the Rev. John BROWN, of Haddington, 2 vols. 8vo. various editions. Also, in one volume, 8vo.

The author was a minister in the Secession-church of Scotland; and in his doctrinal views Calvinistic. Allowance being made for some of his sentiments, his work may be advantageously substituted for the preceding, the price of which necessarily places it above the reach of many persons. The first edition of this work appeared in 1769: the best edition of Mr. Brown's dictionary is said to be the fifth, which costs about eighteen shillings. A professed abridgment of this work was published in 1815, in two small volumes, 18mo. The "Compendious Dictionary of the Holy Bible," first published by Mr. William Button, in 1796, and since reprinted with additions and corrections, in 12mo., is a judicious abridgment of Brown's Dictionary. "By means of a very small but clear type, a vast quantity of matter is comprised within the compass of this little volume. The book, without doubt, may be serviceable to many." (British Critic, Old Series, vol. x. p. 201.)

6. Dictionnaire Généalogique, Historique, et Critique de l'Ecriture Sainte, où sont refutées plusieurs fausses assertions de Voltaire, et autres Philosophes du dix-huitième siècle; par l'Abbé ***[Antoine SERIEYS], revue, corrigé, et publié par M. l'Abbé Sicard. Paris, 1804, 8vo.

Sacred geography and antiquities form no part of this work, which is specially devoted to a refutation of the sophistries and falsehoods of Voltaire and the infidel pseudo-philosophers of France, during the eighteenth century. The author, Antoine Serieys (ac cording to M. Sicard), was one of the victims of the French Revolution in the beginning of September, 1792. This is not true. Serieys was a voluminous compiler and editor of various works, principally historical: at an early period of his life he had rendered some services to the Abbé Sicard, who, being unable to remunerate him, allowed him to make use of his name. Serieys lived seventeen years after the publication of this dictionary, and died at Paris in 1819. (Biographie Universelle, tom. xlii. pp. 69, 70.)

7. Dictionnaire Abrégé de la Bible de [Pierre] CHOMPRE. Nouvelle Edition, revue et considerablement augmentée par M. Petitot. Paris, 1806, 12mo.

M. Chompré was a distinguished classical teacher of youth, in the former part of the eighteenth century, at Paris; where he first published his abridged Dictionary of the Bible, in 12mo. The new edition by M. Petitot is considerably enlarged and improved by the addition of numerous articles, particularly those relating to the manners, legislation, and sects of the Hebrews, and a Chronological

Table.

8. A Dictionary of the Bible; Historical and Geographical, Theological, Moral, and Ritual, Philosophical, and Philological. By Alexander MACBEAN, A.M. London, 1779, 8vo.

A useful book in its day, but now completely superseded by later works: it may frequently be procured for a trifling price.

9. A Theological, Biblical, and Ecclesiastical Dictionary; serving as a general note-book to illustrate the Old and New Testament, as a guide to the Practices and Opinions of all Sects and Religions, and as a Cyclopædia of Religious Knowledge. By John ROBINSON, D.D. London, 1815, 8vo.

This work is very closely printed, and presents a digest, with references to authorities at the end of each article, of almost all that had been written on biblical literature previously to the date of its publication. "It is clearly the work of a man of much industry in collecting, and of much judgment in arranging his matter. To every theological student, who has not access to an extensive library, this volume will prove a very useful subsidiary; to many, indeed, who have neither attainment nor abilities for research, it will become necessary." (Brit. Crit. N. S. vol. vii. p. 305.) We cannot however help expressing our regret that, on some topics, Dr. R. should have referred to writers whose publications (though useful in some respects) are calculated to subvert the fundamental doctrines of the Gospel. His work is illustrated by several neatlyengraved maps. It may be proper to add that it is noticed with merited commendation in the Evangelical Magazine for 1817, vol. xxv. p. 486., and in the Antijacobin Review, vol. xlix. pp. 1-15.

10. The Biblical Cyclopædia; or, Dictionary of the Holy Scriptures, intended to facilitate an acquaintance with the inspired writings. By William JONES. 1816, 2 vols. 8vo.

The plan of this Biblical Cyclopædia is less extensive than that of Dr. Robinson's Dictionary, before which some parts of it appeared, though it bears date one year later than the latter work.

11. A Dictionary of the Holy Bible. Extracted chiefly from Brown, Calmet, &c., collated with other works of the like kind, with numerous additions from various Authors, and a considerable quantity of original matter. By the Rev. James WooD. Seventh Edition, London [1822], 2 vols. 8vo. 4 N

13. The Scripture Lexicon or a Dictionary of above four thousand Proper Names of Persons and Places mentioned in the Old and New Testament; divided into syllables, with their proper accents. By Peter OLIVER. Oxford, 1810, 8vo.

14. A Pocket Dictionary of the Holy Bible: containing an Historical and Geographical Account of the Persons and Places mentioned in the Old and New Testaments. By Archibald ALEXANDER, D.D. Philadelphia, 1830, 18mo.

15. A Biblical and Theological Dictionary, explanatory of the History, Manners, and Customs of the Jews, and neighbouring nations: with an account of the most remarkable places and persons mentioned in Sacred Scripture, &c. By the Rev. Richard WATSON. London, 1831, royal 8vo.

16. Thesaurus Ecclesiasticus, e Patribus Græcis, ordine alphabetico exhibens quæcunque Phrases, Ritus, Dogmata, Hæreses, et hujusmodi alia huc spectant, à Johanne Casparo SUICERO. Amstelodami, 1728, 2 vols. folio.

This is the best edition of a most valuable work; which, though indispensably necessary for understanding the writings of the Greek fathers, incidentally contains many illustrations of Scripture. It is said to have cost the learned author twenty years' labour: the first edition appeared at Amsterdam in 1682, in 2 volumes, folio.

SECTION III.

COMMON-PLACE BOOKS TO THE BIBLE.

1. CHRISTIAN Institutes, or the Sincere Word of God collected out of the Old and New Testaments, digested under proper heads, and delivered in the very words of Scripture. By Francis GASTRELL, D.D., Bishop of Chester. 12mo.

This valuable little work, which may perhaps be considered as a Concordance of parallel passages at full length, was first published in 1707, and has since been repeatedly printed in 12mo. It may be very advantageously substituted for any of the subsequent larger and more expensive works. The "Economy of a Christian Life," published by the Rev. W. Bingley in 1808, in 2 vols. 12mo. is similar in design, but upon the whole better arranged than Bp. Gas

trell's little manual.

2. A Common-Place Book to the Holy Bible, or the Scriptures' Sufficiency practically demonstrated: wherein the substance of Scripture respecting doctrine, worship, and manners is reduced to its proper heads. By John Locke, Esq. A new edition, revised and improved by the Rev. William DODD, LL.D. 4to. London, 1805; 8vo. London, 1824.

Though this work is ascribed to the celebrated philosopher, Mr. Locke, we have not been able to ascertain whether it was really compiled by him. The second edition of it bears the date of 1697: an edition was published by the unfortunate Dr. Dodd, from which the present impression was made. It certainly is a very useful book.

3. A System of Revealed Religion, digested under proper heads, and composed in the express words of Scripture; containing all that the Sacred Records reveal with respect to Doctrine and Duty. By John WARDEN, M.A. London, 1769, 4to. 1819, 2 vols. 8vo.

This work is exceedingly valuable as a common-place book, or harmony of passages of Scripture. It was recommended by Dr. Robertson the historian, and other eminent divines of the Scottish church. In this work the author has collected all that the Scriptures contain relating to any one article of faith or practice under each respective head, in the very words of the sacred writers, with the occasional insertion of a brief note at the foot of a page, and a remark or two at the end of some few chapters. The texts are so arranged as to add to their perspicuity, and at the same time to illustrate the subject; and the chapters are so constructed and disposed that each may form a regular and continued discourse. The work is executed with singular ability and fidelity, and the reprint of it is truly an acquisition to biblical students.

4. An Analysis of the Holy Bible; containing the whole of the Old and New Testaments, collected and arranged systematically. By Matthew TALBOT. Leeds and London, 1800, 4to.

This work has been justly characterized as "a book of good arrangement and convenient reference, and calculated to augment, Critic, O. S. vol. xviii. pp. iii. 88, 89.) It is divided into thirty books, by very easy application, our stores of sacred knowledge." (British which are subdivided into 285 chapters, and 4144 sections. This "Analysis" is of great rarity and high price.

8vo.

The edition of 1813 is a reprint, with numerous corrections and additions, of a work originally printed at Dublin in the year 1763. The arrangement, though not equally good with that of some of the works above noticed, is clear; the selection of texts is sufficiently ample: and a useful index enables the reader to find passages of Scripture arranged on almost every topic he can desire. The book is neatly printed: and as it is of easy purchase, it may be substituted for any of the larger common-place books already noticed. The edition of 1824 is considerably improved.

SECTION IV.

INDEXES AND ANALYSES OF THE BIBLE.

1. AN Index to the Bible: in which the various subjects which occur in the Scriptures are alphabetically arranged: with Accurate References to all the Books of the Old and New Testament. Designed to facilitate the Study of these invaluable Records. Stereotype edition. London, 1811.

This useful index is printed in various sizes to bind up with Bibles; it is said (but on what authority we know not) to have been drawn up by the late Dr. Priestley.

3. The Scripture Student's Assistant; being a Complete Index and concise Dictionary to the Holy Bible: in which the various Persons, Places, and Subjects mentioned in it, are accurately referred to; and every difficult word completely explained. By the Rev. John BARR. Glasgow and London, 1829, 12mo. or demy 4to.

4. Mosis 'P. FLACHERI Analysis Typica omnium cùm Veteris tùm Novi Testamenti Librorum Historicorum, ad intelligendam rerum seriem et memoriam juvandam accommodata. Basilea, 1587, folio; 1621, 4to. Londini, 1597, 4to.

5. Jacobi BRANDMYLLERI Analysis Typica Librorum Veteris Testamenti Poeticorum et Propheticarum. Basiliæ, 1622, 4to.

6. Salomonis VAN TIL Opus Analyticum, comprehendens Introductionem in Sacram Scripturam, ad Joh. Henrici Heideggeri Enchiridion Biblicum IEPOMNHMONIKON concinnatum. Trajecti ad Rhenum, 1720, 2 vols. 4to.

A most minute Analysis of every Book and almost of every Chapter in the Scriptures. Heidegger's Enchiridion Biblicum, on which Van Til's work is a commentary, was st published at Zurich (Tigura) in 1681, and was frequently reprinted in Germany in the course of the last century. It contains prefaces to the different books of the Old and New Testament, together with very minute analyses of the different books. Where Heidegger's statements were correct, Van Til has corroborated them; where he was in error, the latter has corrected his mistakes, and supplied his omis

sions.

1. THESAURUS Antiquitatum Sacrarum, complectens selectissima clarissimorum virorum Opuscula, in quibus veterum Hebræorum Mores, Leges, Instituta, Ritus sacri et civiles, illustrantur; auctore Blasio UGOLINO. Venetiis, 1744-1769, 34 tomis, folio. An Analysis of the contents of this great Collection of Jewish Antiquities is given in Mr. Harris's Catalogue of the Library of the Royal Institution, pp. 11-20. 2d edition. "Many other books treating of Jewish antiquities have been published; but those who have a taste for such sort of reading, will find this collection far more useful to them than any other of the kind." (Bishop Watson.)

2. Modern Judaism: or, a Brief Account of the Opinions, Traditions, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Jews in modern times. By John ALLEN. London, 1816. Second edition, revised and corrected. 1830, 8vo.

The various traditions, &c. received and adopted by the modern Jews (that is, by those who lived during and subsequently to the time of Jesus Christ), are fully and perspicuously treated in this well-executed volume, which illustrates various passages in the New Testament with great felicity.

3. The Antiquities of the Jews, carefully compiled from authentic sources, and their customs illustrated by modern Travels. By W. BROWN, D.D. London, 1820, 2 vols. 8vo.

4. Christ. BRÜNINGS Compendium Antiquitatum Hebræorum. 8vo. Francofurti, 1766.

5. Compendium Antiquitatum Græcarum è profanis sacrarum, collegit, naturali ordine disposuit, ad sacrarum literarum illustrationem passim accommodavit Christianus BRÜNINGS. Francofurti, 1759, 8vo.

6. Petri CUNEI de Republica Hebræorum Libri tres; edita à Jo. Nicolai. 4to. Lugd. Bat. 1703.

The best edition of a very learned work, which till lately continued to be a text-book whence the continental professors of Hebrew antiquities lectured.

7. The Manners of the Ancient Israelites, containing an account of their peculiar Customs, Ceremonies, Laws, Polity,

Religion, Sects, Arts, and Trades, &c. &c. By Claude FLEURY. London, 1809, 8vo.

For this third and best edition, the public are indebted to Dr. Adam Clarke, who has enlarged the original work with much valuable information from the principal writers on Jewish antiquities. The Abbé Fleury's work was translated many years since by Mr. Farnworth. The late excellent Bishop of Norwich (Dr. Horne) has recommended it in the following terms: "This little book conlaws, policy, and religion of the Israelites. It is an excellent introtains a concise, pleasing, and just account of the manners, customs, duction to the reading of the Old Testament, and should be put into the hands of every young person."

8. Moses and Aaron: or, the Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites used by the Ancient Hebrews. By Thomas GODWIN. London, 1634; 1641, 4to.

This compendium of Hebrew antiquities is now rather scarce. It was formerly in great request as a text-book, and passed through many editions. A Latin translation of it was published at Utrecht in 1690, and again at Franeker in 1710, in 12mo.

9. Apparatus Historico-criticus Antiquitatum sacri codicis et gentis Hebrææ. Uberrimis annotationibus in Thomæ Godwini Mosen et Aaronem subministravit Johannes Gottlob CARPZOVIUS. 4to. Francofurti, 1748.

The most elaborate system of Jewish antiquities, perhaps, that is extant: besides the annotations of Carpzov, it contains a Latin translation of Godwin's treatise.

10. Jewish Antiquities, or a Course of Lectures on the Three first books of Godwin's Moses and Aaron. To which is annexed a Dissertation on the Hebrew Language. By David JENNINGS, D.D. 8vo. 2 vols. London, 1766; Perth, 1808; and London, 1823, in one volume, 8vo.

This work has long held a distinguished character for its accuMr. Lowman on the Ritual (8vo. London, 1748), and on the Civil racy and learning, and has been often reprinted. "The treatises of Government of the Hebrews (8vo. London, 1740), may properly ac company this work." (Bishop Watson.)

11. Antiquitates Hebraica secundum triplicem Judæorum statum, ecclesiasticum, politicum, et œconomicum, breviter deli
