Gsttingen.) Another part of Dr. Mover's great work on the
Phoenicians has been published. The first volume, containing
investigations into their religion, appeared in 1841; the second
volume, entitled Phoenician Antiquity, is to consist of three
parts: the first, which appeared in 1849, treats of their political history and constitution of the State, the second now issued,
(8vo. pp. 660, Berlin,) of the History of the Colonies.
Critical editions of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures worthy

title Testamentumn Utrumque, novum graece, vetus hebraice,

We have lying before us the Genesis of Theile's Hebrew
Bible, costing twenty-five cents, (Isaiah, Job, the Psalms, are
also each published separately); with this and some cheap
Lexicon, (such as Leopold's or Gibb's,) and a grammar such as
Gesenius's the apparatus for its study could be had on very
reasonable terms. There is no reason why this sacred and
venerable tongue should not be studied extensively in our
schools and colleges. And in the case of students of theology,
it is greatly to be regretted that its acquisition is delayed until
they enter upon their professional course. It will never be
possible to do that in the seminary which ought to be done, in
the exposition and criticism of the Hebrew Scriptures, until an
acquaintance with the Hebrew is made as essential a requisite
for entering it, as an acquaintance with the Greek.
The Peshito (Syriac) version of the New Testament is the
subject of a treatise in four books (8vo. pp. 341, Halle,) by
Lic. J. Wichelhaus.
A third edition of Raumer's Paldstina (8vo. pp. 476, Leipzig,)

Geography in its relattion to Nature and the History of Man,

1851.]
