<p> an | <p> an English Oriental scholar, was born of [[Jewish]] parentage. In 1845 he was in connection with the British [[Society]] for the Propagation of the [[Gospel]] among the Jews, and in 1847 was appointed principal of the college founded by that society for training missionaries for the Jews. He died in London in 1871. Besides assisting in the edition of the Englishman's [[Hebrew]] and [[Chaldee]] Concordance, he is the author of the Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon: — [[Syriac]] [[Reading]] Lessons, with Analysis: — Chaldee Reading Lessons: — and joint author of Arabic Reading Lessons. But his chef d'oeuvre is his posthumous work, A [[Concordance]] of the Hebrew and Chaldee [[Scriptures]] (Lond. 1876), the most complete Hebrew concordance hitherto issued. The order of the books is here retained uniformly, and also that of the personal inflections of the verb. The suffixes are, moreover, expressed in detail. At the end of the volume a list of particles is given. (B.P.) </p> | ||
