Excerpt from New Translation of the Book of Psalms and of the Proverb: With Introductions, and Notes, Chiefly ExplanatoryThe Book of Psalms has been styled by some of the German critics, in allusion to a portion of Grecian literature, The Hebrew Anthology; that is, a collection of the lyric, moral, historical, and elegiac poetry of the Hebrews. Regarded in this light alone, it presents a most interesting subject of literary taste and curiosity. Many of these psalms must have been composed some hundreds of years before the period which is commonly assigned to the origin of the Iliad of Homer. But it is not with them as with many of the productions of the classic Muse, of which the antiquity constitutes their greatest claim upon the attention of the scholar, and of which the subjects possess little or no interest for the world in its manhood. It was the privilege of the Hebrew bards to be employed upon subjects possessing an interest as enduring as the attributes of God and the nature of dependent man. Their poetry has the deep foundation of eternal truth. It comes, for the most part, in language the most glowing, from the very depths of the soul, rich in sentiments adapted to the soul's most urgent wants. Hence its living spirit, its immortal freshness. Hence its power of reaching the hearts of all men, in all countries and in all ages. Where, in the whole compass of literature, can one find more of the "thoughts that breathe and words that burn" than in the Hebrew Anthology? Then, too, what variety is there in the subjects of these ancient compositions! How diverse the states of heart and fortune that occasioned them!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The New Testament: Translated From the Greek Text of TischendorfI have also thought it inexpedient to depart from the Common Version in the arrangement of the General Epistles, namely, those of James, Peter, John, and J ude, which in Tischendorf's edition come between the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of Paul.I request that every reader will bear in mind' the Greek text-which I have followed; otherwise some of my departures from the Common Version might seem to be unnecessary or arbitrary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
