An Hebrew Grammar
This is the first edition of Samuel Sewall's Hebrew grammar, published in Boston in 1763 by R. and S. Draper. Based on the works of Israel Lyons and Richard Grey, it includes a praxis from sacred classics and a sketch of Hebrew poetry as retrieved by Bishop Hare. This book is one of only two Hebrew grammars printed in the Americas before the 19th century and is considered an important companion to Judah Monis's lexicon (1753). The book is dedicated to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, reflecting the importance of Hebrew studies in colonial American education.
