Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 10: And Miscellaneous Journal
The name of the subject of these memoirs is familiar to many of our readers, in connexion with his great work on the various readings of the Hebrew Old Testament. Though that collection exhibit but a small part of his vast and various erudition, it is almost the only one of his works, which has been considerably known either in England or America. As scarce any reading is more amusing than biography, so no branch of mere subsidiary reading is more useful to the scholar, than accounts of the lives and studies of those whom he chooses for the guides or standards of his pursuits. We feel curious to know how these great men lived and laboured, almost hoping that when we have imitated the form of their rooms, the arrangement of their books, and the filing of their papers, we are in the fair road to partake their fame.
