SELECTIONS FROM THE CATALOGUE. THE ANALYTICAL HEBREW AND CHALDEE LEXICON; THE WORDS OF THE ENTIRE HEBREW SCRIPTURES ARRANGED JUST AS THEY ARE FOUND IN THE SACRED TEXT, ALPHABETICALLY, AND ARE GRAMMATICALLY EXPLAINED. The ANALYTICAL LEXICON is- I. A Lexicon in the ordinary sense of supplying the various meanings of the roots. II. A Dictionary of every derivative and modification of every root, in alpha- betical order, with analysis. III. A storehouse of the anomalies of the language, carefully arranged, and referred to from all parts of the work. IV. A Concordance of the least easily understood words. The student of the original has only to turn from his Bible to this Lexicon for the solution of every etymological difficulty that may obstruct his progress: he will find, without trouble or loss of time, a complete analysis of every word, with an account of its peculiarities, and a reference to the conjugation or declension to which it may belong, or if it be irregular, to its exceptional class. The Grammatical Introduction is chiefly devoted to the study of the irregu- arities of the language. Here will be found, it is believed, every single excep- tional word, with a concise explanation of its peculiarities. " It is the ultimatum of Hebrew Lexicography, and will leave the Theologian, who still remains ignorant of the Sacred tongue, absolutely without excuse."-- Churchman's Monthly Review.

PREFACE. THE object of these Heads of Hebrew Grammar is to furnish the learner of that language with all that is needful for him in his introductory studies, so that he may be thoroughly grounded in all that is elementary. In teaching Hebrew, I have been accustomed to give oral instruction as to all the elements, commonly making use of some short Hebrew grammar ; -- marking the rules which re- quire attention, and adding others which are not to be found in elementary grammars in general. In this way I have had a kind of oral Hebrew grammar for :learners; and the same grammatical instruction which I have thus communicated to those whom I have thus taught, is here given written down for use or reference. I am well aware that the number of Hebrew grammars,- both of those called elementary, and of those called critical, -*-is very great; this consideration made me long feel re- luctant to commit my oral grammatical instruction to writing; iv PREFACE. but, if the mass of Hebrew grammars be examined, it will be found that very few of them possess any distinctive features; and I am not aware of one which I have been able to use as thoroughly adapted to the wants of learners. The outline grammars are mostly unclear in arrangement, and often in- correct in statement. With regard to this outline, I can only say, that it has already stood the test of experience in its practical use, and thus I am able to speak of the result as satisfactory. This gives me a confidence in introducing this outline to others, besides those to whom I have given oral instruction. I am well aware that in recommending an outline of Hebrew grammar to beginners, I have no less an authority than that of GESENIUS opposed to me :- the opinion of that learned man, the greatest Hebraist of modern times, was, that a learner should use a critical grammar from the com- mencement of his studies. But Gesenius, in his Hebrew tuition, had to do not with mere beginners; the students came to him with an elementary grounding in forms and in. flections acquired in the Gymnasium, previous to their uni- versity course; and I believe that a critical grammar, if put into the hands of a mere beginner, will be found to deal with subjects in a deep and philosophic manner, which will, for a time, be rather a hindrance than a help, because the subjects themselves are not understood. Let there be a proper groundwork laid of forms and in. flections, as well as of the ordinary forms of construction, and then the best and most critical Hebrew grammars may be studied, and that with profit.
