Excerpt from The Biblical Repository, 1833, Vol. 3: Nos. IX-XII Tms publication is intended to be, as its name imports, a Collection of Essays and Tracts of permanent value, which shall relate, first and principally, to the literature of the Bible, and to subjects connected With this literature. A less prominent, but no less important object of the work, is the conservation of simi lar essays in the departments of Sacred Rhetoric, and of Doctrinal and Historical Theology; more particularly the latter, as having been hitherto less cultivated in our country than any other. It is a part of the plan, that a portion of each number shall consist of one or more original articles, comprising essays on biblical and other theological topics; as well as views of the state of theological education and literature in other countries. The rest of the work is to be made up of such selections from the vast range of essays, - historical, philological, hermeneutical, geo graphical etc. - existing in the theological literature of England and the various countries of the European continent, as shall seem most worthy of being presented to the American student, and best ads ted to aid his progress, and promote among na the cause of bib ical learning and of pure religion. These will be translated where necessary; and will every where he accommo dated to the American reader, by the addition of such notes and explanations as may seem to be requisite. To every article the name of the author or translator will be aflixed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
