"The aim and object of the present enquiry, appears to be an examination into the mysteries of the Creation, as set forth in the book of Genesis, and, at the same time, a comparison of the account as given by Moses, with the reliquia of ancient theories on the same subject. Of works like the present, we are neither great advocates nor ardent admirers; at the same time, we are bound to admit that our author displays considerable learning, and much patient investigation of facts;-the book is well written, the language close, terse, clear, and condensed,-the comparison of theories elaborate, and, for the most part. correct; much gratification as well as positive instruction may be gathered from these QUESTIONES MOSAICE". 66 British Friend of India Magazine, and Indian Review.

The ignorant and self sufficient Monthly Reviewer, whose flippant attack upon perhaps the most learned work of the age has been quoted above, is, no doubt, one of those writers to whom the proprietors of that Miscellany are mainly indebted for the present enviable position of their periodical, whose dull and heary articles, without one sparkle of wit or talent, have reduced its circulation to the lowest amount of any magazine. To reply, however, to this petty sciolist in the most conclusive way, an entire page of Mr. Priaulz's work has been printed on the OPPOSITE LEAF, shewing at once the author's logical reasoning and elegant style. The celebrated Dr. Kenrick has left on record the contempt he entertained for the Monthly Reviewers; and in re-echoing his words, the publisher hopes to prove the real value of their literary opinion: 46 READER WHENEVER THOU FINDEST A BOOK ABUSED IN THE MONTHLY REVIEW, BUY IT, FOR IT WILL SURELY PROVE A WORK OF GREAT MERIT." 9640 PRICE'S (Major David) Mahommedan History, from the Death of the Arabian Legislator to the Accession of the Emperor Akbar and the Establishment of the Mogul Empire in Hindostan, compiled from original Persian Authorities; 4 vols. 4to, map (pub. at 77.17s.6d.) bds. 17.16s.

PRIAULX'S QUÆSTIONES MOSAICÆ.) 575 In my observations on the deluge, I suggested that by putting out the first verse of the eighth chapter as an interpolation, we might render it highly probable that the sabbatical cycle was known to and observed by the antediluvian ages. I thought this an emendation, but was obliged to reject it as directly opposed to the facts of the history. And if now to ascertain the length of the patriarchal year I refer to the narrative of the deluge, I find, on adding together the several periods mentioned there, that the last dove was sent from the ark on the three hundred and thirty-second day of the year, and that the year therefore, unless some error have crept into the text, was of more than ten months, or three hundred days. - But the narrative of the deluge, as it at present stands, presents many difficulties; suppose therefore some error in its text; suppose its year to have consisted but of ten months, and it speaks but of ten; then, if we reject the forty days in the sixth verse of chapter the eighth, we have a year just such as we require; and if moreover we make Noah to send forth the raven on the first day of the tenth month, and seven days afterwards the dove, and so on to the opening of the ark, we shall find, supposing Noah to have entered the ark on a sabbath, that the first and second day of the tenth month is also a sabbath; that in fact all the great divisions or epochs in the deluge fall on a sabbath, except the opening of the ark, which takes place only eight days after the flight of the last dove, and takes place consequently on the first day of the week, also the first day of the first month of the new year, the first year of Noah's seventh century, the birth-year of the new earth. We thus have a conjectural emendation which reduces the length of the year to the number of months mentioned in the text, which accounts for every day spent in the ark, and which in accordance with the views of the olden world commemorates only certain days-an emendation moreover plausible enough, but one with which I am not so much in love as to regard it as anything more than a conjecture. 2 The Sabbath beginning on the evening of the first-the Jews reckoning the day from sunset to sunset-Noah would probably delay sending forth the bird until the morning of the second day of the tenth month. And if he waited the whole of the Sabbath for the return of the last dove, he would wait its return till the sunset of the last day of the year, and would not therefore probably uncover the ark until the first day of the new year. 9651 PRICE'S (Francis) Observations on that admirable Structure the Cathedral Church of Salisbury; 4to, plates, neat, 158. 1753 9652 PRICE'S (Sir Uvedale) Essay on the Picturesque, and on the Use of studying Pictures for the purpose of improving Real Landscape; 8vo, FIRST EDITION, neat, 5s. 1794 Essays on the Picturesque as compared with the Sublime and Beautiful, and on the Use of studying Pictures for the Purpose of improving Real Landscape; 3 vols. 8vo, calf extra, 17. 16s. 9653 9654 9655 9656 1810 Essays on the Picturesque.
