This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

If we reflect upon the distinguishing peculiarities of the Hebrew language, particularly its antiquity and sacred character, we may perceive that it possesses many strong claims on our attention. We may not believe, or at least may think it not capable of proof, that it was the language of paradise;--the medium of communication betwixt the Divine Being and the parents of mankind;--the language in which the latter were taugbt to communicate their thoughts to each other, and to their offspring. But though we may doubt this, we cannot doubt that it was one of the earliest written languages; and we have good grounds for inferring that it was a spoken language at a still earlier period. The genuineness of the books of Moses is satisfactorily established; and there are no other well authenticated writings known to exist, of equal antiquity. Now the languag« in which Moses wrote was that spoken by his brethren, the Hebrew people, and as we may reasonably conclude, substantially the same as that spoken by their patriarchal progenitors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Abraham, if we may trust to the correctness of the chronology, was born before the death of Noah; in whose days "the whole earth," it is said, "was of one language, and of one speech." It is warrantable to suppose, therefore, that there has been transmitted to us, embodied in the Hebrew, no inconsiderable portion of the primitive language of mankind. We have naturally a respect for ancient things. We look...
