As books of voyages and travels are for the most part voluminous, the late reverend and learned Thomas Harmer formed the design, which he happily executed, of perusing the works of Oriental travellers, with the view of extracting from them whatever might illustrate the rites and customs mentioned in the Scriptures. His researches form four volumes in 8vo., and were published at different times, towards the close of the last century. The best edition is that above noticed, and is edited by Dr. Adam Clarke, who has newly arranged the whole, and made many important additions and corrections. In this work numerous passages of Scripture are placed in a light altogether new; the meanings of others, which are not discoverable by the methods commonly used by interpreters, are satisfactorily ascertained; and many probable conjectures are offered to the biblical student. The mode of illustrating Scripture from Oriental voyages and travels, first applied by Mr. Harmer, has been successfully followed by the laborious editor of the "Fragments" annexed to the quarto edition of Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible, and also by Mr. Vansittart in his "Observations on Select Places of the Old Testament, founded on a Perusal of Parson's Travels from Aleppo to Bagdad." Oxford and London, 1812, 8vo.

2. Oriental Customs; or an Illustration of the Sacred Scriptures, by an Explanatory Application of the Customs and Manners of the Eastern Nations. By the Rev. S. BURDER, A.M. 6th edition, 1822, 2 vols. 8vo.

This is a useful abridgment of Harmer's Observations, with many valuable additions from recent voyagers and travellers, arranged in the order of the Books, Chapters, and Verses of the Bible. It was translated into German, by Dr. E. F. C. Rosenmüller (4 vols. 8vo. Leipzig, 1819), with material corrections and much new matter. Such of these as were additions to the articles contained in the Oriental Customs," have been translated, and inserted, in the sixth edition above noticed. But those articles which are entirely new, being founded on texts not before brought under Mr. Burder's consideration, are translated and inserted in

4. Oriental Customs: applied to the Illustration of the Sacred Scriptures. By Samuel BURDER, M.A. London, 1831, 12mo. This volume is designed for general readers and for young persons, as well as those of studious habits. It consists, partly of such selections from the two preceding works as are adapted for general perusal, and partly of original illustrations of the sacred Scriptures, derived from recent publications. These illustrations are methodically arranged under heads, but they follow the order of the books and chapters under each head.

5. The Eastern Mirror; an Illustration of the Sacred Scriptures, in which the Customs of Oriental Nations are clearly developed by the writings of the most celebrated travellers. By the Rev. W. FOWLER. 8vo. Exeter, 1814.

The author of this volume resided about ten years as a missionary at Ceylon. As the usages of the Ceylonese frequently bear a resemblance to those of the Jews, he has applied them to the expla nation of the Sacred Writings. He has also introduced many hints from the fourth edition of Calmet, and from the illustrations of Scripture contained in Mr. Ward's History, &c. of the Hindoos. "The Notes are for the most part brief; and, when suggested by the author's personal observation, interesting and to the purpose." (Eclectic Review, N. S. vol. xxix. p. 265.)

aimed to make his work a general depository of knowledge, illus trative of the text of the Bible in the several particulars of Geogr phy, Natural History, Customs, and Manners...." These copas volumes comprise a very ample collection of materials for the illustration of the Scriptures, and are well adapted for the use of those who are engaged in the work of public religious instruction been originally prepared for the students under his care. It a for whose benefit they are chiefly intended by the author, having indeed, a work which must interest and gratify every reader who makes the intelligent perusal of the Scriptures an object of he attention."

9. The Truth of Revelation demonstrated by an Appeal to existing Monuments, Sculptures, Gems, Coins, and Medals. By a Fellow of several Learned Societies. London, 1832, 8vo.

This interesting book is clearly the production of a mind pion and cultivated, enriched by science, and enlarged by various information. Adapted especially to guard the young against the too welcome theories of skepticism, it will also afford to the general reader both gratification and improvement. It chiefly consists of striking facts deduced from the labours of modern inquiry, of allu sions gleaned from literature, of memorials of past events, scattered over the relics of by-gone times, in sculptures, gems, and medals; and its object is to apply these various materials to the illustraton and establishment of the sacred records; as well as to impress the conviction that the foundations of a scriptural hope are not to be shaken by advancing knowledge, nor ultimately injured by the rash assaults of a class of men who, aspiring to be deemed the votaries of philosophy, give too much reason for the suspicion that the stimulus by which their industry is excited is the vain expect tion of some discovery adverse to the Christian religion, rather than zeal for the promotion of science.", "It is full of interesting facts and observations; and one which we can cordially recom mend, as adapted not less to please than to convince."

The object of this work is to illustrate Biblical and Classical Antiquities from Oriental writings. This volume is exclusively devoted to a demonstration of the coincidence which subsists be tween these different departments of study: and that coincidener the author has satisfactorily shown by various examples.

The title of this work very inadequately describes its multifarious contents. Not only is it the most elaborate syvem of chronology extant in our language; but there is scarcely à difficult text in the sacred writings which is not illustrated. Dr. Hales follows the chronology of Josephus, whose genuine numbers he conceives that he has restored; and that, by a comparison with the Septuagint and the other texts, he has ascertained the true series of primeval times. The longer chronology, established by Dr. H. with great success, is unquestionably preferable to that founded on the Masoretic text, as it removes many of those difficulties with which the Scripture history is encumbered in that text. New Analysis" ought to have a place in the library of every biblical student who can pro

These discourses were translated by the celebrated printer, iii. p. 146.) The first discourse contains an ingenious attempt, by William BOWYER. (Nichol's Lit. Anecd. of the 18th Century, vol. Professor Michaelis, to reconcile the discrepancies between the Mosaic Institutions and the Jewish Calendar; the writer of these pages has not been able to ascertain where it first appeared. This discourse has been reprinted in the Calendarium Palestinæ (see the next article). The second discourse, which treats on the Sabbatical Year (it appears from Michaelis's Commentaries on the Laws of Moses, vol. i. p. 391.), is a translation of the ninth of his Commentationes Societati Regia Goettingensi, per annos 1758-1765, oblatæ. The substance of this discourse is inserted in his Commentaries, vol. pp. 387-416., with some additional observations. The design of the third discourse, on the years of Jubilee, is to show that the year of Jubilee was every forty-ninth year, being included in the seventh Sabbatical year; and that it probably began in the time of Seleucus Nicator. Mr. Bowyer's little volume is uncommonly scarce a copy of it is in the very valuable library belonging to the President and Fellows of Queen's College, in the University of Cambridge, which has been examined for the present article.

This work was translated into Latin, and published at Leyden, in 1685, in 8vo. Though now superseded by the improved edition of Stackhouse's History of the Bible, which is noticed in the present page, it may yet be consulted with advantage by the studen who may not have access to that work. Mr. Cradock's volume may frequently be procured for a few shillings.

This publication consists of two parts:-1. The Calendar of Palestine, which presents in a concise form, various information relative to the Jewish year; and 2. "A Dissertation on the Hebrew Months [from the Latin of J. D. MICHAELIS]," which is reprinted from the preceding small volume of Mr. Bowyer. The Calendar of Palestine is also neatly printed on a large sheet, to be hung up in the study for perpetual reference.

These chronological tables claim a place in the student's library, not only for their cheapness, but also for their utility. They are noticed here on account of the clear exhibition which they contain of sacred chronology and the affairs of those nations with whom the Jews had any intercourse. The modern events are brought down to the year 1820.

Though not so stated in the title-page, this is a reprint of the original work of the learned Professor Jahn, translated by M Calvin E.

This work of the late learned Professe Jahn contains the most succinct and critically arranged history of the Jews which is extant: it exhibits throughout manifest impres sions of the same care, diligence, deep research, and sound jadrment, which characterizes his other treatises. The continuatum i neatly translated from Basnage's History of the Jews, in French and fills up a chasm in the history of that people, which it is de sirable to have supplied.
