A Hebrew Grammar Compiled from Some of the Best Authorities

A Hebrew grammar textbook compiled by Sidney Willard, Professor of Hebrew and Oriental Languages at Harvard College. Published in 1817 by Hilliard & Metcalf at the University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The book features dual Hebrew-English text on nearly every page. This particular copy is in rubbed but sound condition, bound in its original calf-backed marbled paper-covered boards. The book's preface argues for its necessity due to the high cost of suitable Hebrew grammars for theology students. Internal evidence suggests that Willard was aware of other contemporary Hebrew grammars published in New England. The book contains ownership inscriptions from E. B. Hall (1819), a Unitarian Minister and Harvard student, and Samuel Presbury (1822), a Harvard graduate and Unitarian Minister. Offered for sale by Rulon-Miller Books on October 27, 2009, for $285.00. (5 x 8 1/2 inches; 86 pages)
