A Hebrew Grammar, with Exercises. By M. M. Kalisch, Ph.D.,
MA. In two parts. London. (Longmans.) —This is a new and very valuable work, the result of many years' conscientious labour, and one which supplies an old want—that of a Hebrew grammar no less practical than theoretical. It is, perhaps, not too much to say, that any student
-who will take the trouble to master Dr. Kalisch's two modest volumes, and to work out the progressive exercises they contain, will be able not merely to read Hebrew, but to write it correctly and even fluently. Surely we may without impertinence recommend such a book, if not to all the Bishops, at least to some of them, and at all events to the Bishop of Rochester, and ask his thanks for the recommendation. Indeed, there can be very few clergymen or divines in England who would not benefit in their Hebrew scholarship by making the acquaint- ance of Dr. Kalisch's grammar, the thoroughness, perspicuity, and superior elaboration of which must very soon make it indispensable to every professional scholar. It combines the exhaustive method of Thomas Kerchever Arnold's Greek and Latin exercises with the *pro- found knowledge of one of the first Orientalists of the day, and we -trust may be the means of making his magnificent commentary on Genesis even more extensively known than it is at present.
