ARNOLD'S INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF HEBREW.

In 12mo. price 7_s._ 6_d._

THE FIRST HEBREW BOOK; on the plan of "Henry's First Latin Book."
By the Rev. THOMAS KERCHEVER ARNOLD, M.A., Rector of Lyndon, and
late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

"The arrangement is excellent. The addition of English characters
is very well calculated to assist the learner, and to incite those
who, from the difficulty of reading fluently, are disinclined to
become learners. Mr. Arnold says in his preface:--'Wishing to
tempt many persons to teach themselves the language in which the
Scriptures of the Old Testament were composed, I have felt it
necessary to smooth the path to the accomplishment of the first
and most irksome portion of the labour.' This task he has
performed most successfully."--_English Churchman._

indispensable; and we have never seen an introduction better
calculated than the present to supply the wants of a beginner in a
short space of time. The declensions and conjugations are well
stated, and illustrated by references to the Greek, Latin, French,
and other languages. A philosophical spirit pervades every part.
The Delectus consists of short pieces on various subjects, with
extracts from Anglo-Saxon History and the Saxon Chronicle. There
is a good Glossary at the end."--_Athenaeum, Oct. 20, 1849._
