NOTES CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY ON THE PROPHECIES OF JONAH AND HOSE A, WITH A SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL DURING THE PERIOD WHEN THE PROPHECIES OF HOSEA WERE DELIVERED. BY THE REV. WILLIAM DRAKE, M.A., FORMERLY FELLOW OF ST JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. Cambridge: 1853. PREFACE. HE primary object with which the following THE notes on Jonah and Hosea have been compiled, has been to supply a want, which has been felt in giving instruction in Hebrew. For beginners there is no great scarcity of suitable text-books, adapted to the several Grammars in most common use. The analysis of the text of the history of Joseph by the present Bishop of Llandaff, and the recently published analysis of the entire book of Genesis by the Rev. W. Paul, of Banchory, refer to Dr Lee's Grammar. In America, Professor Stuart has published an excellent Chrestomathy in connexion with his own Grammar, which is based upon that of Gesenius. Dr Benjamin Davies, who has translated the 14th German Edition of Gesenius, enlarged by Rödiger, has added to it an Hebrew reading book, after the method of teaching pursued by Gesenius; and Mr Tregelles has published a Grammatical Praxis of portions of Genesis and Proverbs. |
