Excerpt from The Spirit of Hebrew Poetry, Vol. 1 of 2 The work, 'of which a translation is here ofi'ered to the publick, has long been celebrated in Germany, as one of distinguished merit. On its first publication it did much to awaken and cherish the taste for Oriental and especially Hebrew antiquity, which has since so extensively prevailed among the scholars of that coun try. It taught them, too, in the study of Hebrew an tiquity and Hebrew poetry, as the works of Lessing, Winkelmann, and others had done in regard to Grecian antiquity, to divest themselves of the conceptions, and modes of thought, which are peculiar to their own country and institutions, and of the peculiar spirit of their own age; by the force of imagination to place themselves in the condition ofthose'ancient patriarchs and prophets, whose thoughts and feelings they seek to apprehend to see the world as they saw it, to feel as they felt, to imbibe and to express their Spirit in its truth and simplicity. Hence, though Germany has since been fruitful in works connected with Hebrew poetry and history, and though the great work of Bp. Lowth has been translated and is appreciated there, this still retains its place, as a classical and standard work.
