Excerpt from Scripture Onomatology: Being Critical Notes on the Septuagint and Other Versions; Illustrated by Proper Names; Also Two Appendices on Alterations and Transcribers Errors The following treatise is compiled chiefly from notes made during my collation of the Septuagint and Peshito Versions with the original Hebrew. Long before that collation had reached the end of the Pentateuch, these notes began to show remarkable results concerning both the Hebrew d104 and the Septuagint Version; results which seemed to me so interesting and important that I felt induced to continue my researches with regard to them only. The discoveries which I thus made, were to me as nuggets of gold which rejoice the industrious miner. They seemed by degrees to lay open rich treasures in the science of criticism both sacred and secular; revealing methods of solving d104ual difficulties, which perhaps, strictly speaking, had not been altogether unknown before; but, though known, had not received from students the attention which they deserve. By the aid of these methods I have been able to explain decisively many variations and discrepancies between the two most ancient Repositories of God's Word, the Hebrew and the LXX., which had hitherto resisted every attempt at solution by other means.
