ORIENTAL.

Proposals for publishing by Subscription in one Volume, Octavo, dedicated to the Right Reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of Saint David's, A Grammar of the Arabic Language, accompanied by a Praxis of the first three chapters of Genesis; with an Analysis of the Words, and a Vocabulary, in which the primary signification of each word is investigated and compared with the Hebrew. This work is calculated for the use of the students, who wish to learn without a teacher, by an easy method, a language rich, nervous, highly cultivated, and ancient, yet still living, and prevailing over more than a third of the old world, having at the same time the greatest affinity with the Hebrew, and, on that account, described by A. Schultens as the royal road to it; being of great use and necessity to the Divine and

Biblical Critic, whose aim is to determine the genuine meaning of the original Hebrew text; and, besides, containing a variety of excellent works in every branch of useful knowledge and liberal literature. By the Rev. John Frederick Usko, Professor of Oriental Languages, and Rector of Orsett, Essex.

The Volume will be divided into five Books. The first Book contains, in eight Chapters, the Orthography and Pronunciation according to the practice of Mecca, regarded as the most pure throughout the East. The second Book treats of the Verb, in fourteen Chapters. The third Book relates to the Noun and Pronoun; the first in eight Chapters, and the latter in five. The fourth Book comprehends the Particles in six Chapters; and the fifth Book, the Syntax in three Chapters.

The Author, who resided upwards of twenty years in the East, has endeavoured to combine with the usual method the peculiar manner of the best Grammarians among the Arabs, and to introduce the learner by degrees to the better understanding of their treatises on this subject.

An interlineary Latin version will accompany the Arabic text, which will be noted in Roman letters, according to the principles adopted in the Grammar, and translated into English as verbally as the respective idioms of the two languages will admit. The Vocabulary contains the signification of the words likewise in both languages. With an Essay on the Arabic language.

The terms of Subscription are 158. and large paper 17. 58.
