73 while I was pursuing Tritli liiiu tlie study of Hebrew, and I examined a good deal of it witli mueli interest. Alonsr with it I read Gale's Court of the Gentiles^ a very curious and learned production, which the Doctor lent me, the author of which borrowed largely from Bochart. I for a lono^ time cherished the idea that a translation of this work would be hisrh- ly acceptable to literary peojDle, and particu- larly to the clergy, who would eagerly seize the opportunity of making themselves a...c- quainted with its ancient treasures, and of confirming thereby their faith in the state- ments of the Old Testament Scriptures, es- pecially of the Book of Genesis. Under this impression, I worked assiduously until I had got into the thud book, when my enthusiasm cooled very much, and I brought my trans- lating labors to a close. The numerous quo- tations from Latin and Greek writei^ I left untranslated, which was a great mistake, as the English reader would have required a version of those, as well as of the author s language.
