This Dr. Gorfinkle has done in the present volume with acumen and with much diligence. To this purpose, he has examined carefully a number of manuscripts and printed editions. He has also compared the A rabic original throughout, and has given in the notes his reasons for accepting or rejecting certain readings. In order that the work may be accessible to readers who do not understand Hebrew, anE nglish translation has been added. EICHARD GOTTHEIL. Mat,
