Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hebrew and English Dictionary, Containing All the Hebrew and Chaldee Words Used in the Old Testament: Arranged Under One Alphabet, the Derivatives Referred to Their Respective Roots, and Their Signification in English; With Vocabularies of All the Roots With Their Significations, and the Principal Words With Their Corresponding Words in Hebrew
From the Rev. J. Gilbert, Classical Tutor at Rotherham Academy.
You will accept my best acknowledgments for the numbers of your new work, and in comply ing with your request to look it over, and state my sentiments, I am happy to say, that your Dic tionary appears to me to furnish what was before an important desideratum. The student will be now in possession of the same facilities toward the attainment of Hebrew, with which Schrevelius had before supplied him towards the acquisition of Greek and though some may object to your work, as they have before to his, that it is too indulgent to indolence, yet the learner, and especially if he have not the assistance of a tutor, will feel you to be entitled to his best thanks. Your labour will greatly lessen his will save him much valuable time and will, perhaps, in many instances, prevent him from relinquishing, in despair or disgust, a pursuit which he may now prosecute with ease and success. Besides the derivatives, the addition of proper names is no unimportant advan tage. On the whole, the plan is calculated to be highly useful to those for whom it is designed.
