Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament: Including the Biblical Chaldee The sale Of a second impression of three thousand copies of the Lexicon, in less than five years, rendered necessary early measures for the preparation Of a new edition. As the Author now rests from his labours and his colleague Roediger, to whom he intrusted -the comple tion Of his Thesaurus, was understood to have nearly finished the manu script it seemed advisable to conform the present Lexicon every where to the latest views expressed in the Thesaurus and the accompanying corrections, and then give to the work a permanent form. Measures were accordingly taken to insure the reception Of the sheets from the German publisher at the earliest moment; and the process of stereotyping the pages was begun and continued, until interrupted by the delay of the Thesaurus in Germany. It appears from the latest intelligence, that; although the concluding fasciculus of that work is completed in manu script, yet the printing and publication are likely to be delayed many months, both for the sake of final revision, and in consequence of the deranged state of public affairs and the general stagnation of business. Meanwhile, the former edition of this Translation being entirely ex hansted, the publishers, inorder to meet the pressing demand, determined to strike Off a limited impression from the plates so far as finished, and the rest from types. Accordingly, the present volume is thus printed from the plates as far as to p. 1032 inclusive, with the exception Of pp. 623 - 634. This portion, having been thoroughly revised, is now perma nent; and exhibits the latest views of Gesenius, as contained in the Thesaurus or transmitted to the Translator in manuscript just before the Author's decease. The remaining portion has also been carefully revised and compared with the later writings of the Author but can receive its permanent form only when the publication of the Thesaurus shall have been completed.
