Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.

(Excerpt from The Syrian Churches: Their Early History, Li...)
Excerpt from The Syrian Churches: Their Early History, Liturgies, and Literature; With a Literal Translation of the Four Gospels From the Peschito, or Canon of Holy Scripture in Use Among the Oriental Christians From the Earliest Times It did not occur to me till the following sheets had been committed to the press, that the present translation of the Gospels may possibly be considered in some quarters as an attempt to impugn the excellence of our authorized English version. Should such be the case, I would hereby earnestly disclaim any intention of the kind. My sole wish has been to offer in our own language an accurate representation of the evangelic canon, as read from the primeval days by the Christians of the East. The invaluable English version in ordinary use among us having been made from the Greek, and the following translation from a text extant in a tongue altogether different, a comparison like that now deprecated can only be instituted by a departure from the common principles of reason and equity. At the same time I would suggest, that a collation of the one text with the other, for the purpose of ascertaining the verbal sameness or disagreement of the gospel testimony as given by two witnesses so perfectly impartial and independent, will form a profitable study to the Christian, and impart a profound conviction of the immutable integrity of the New-Testament record. I have retained the titles of the sections for public reading, merely as illustrative of some points referred to in the preceding sketches of the Syrian communions.

A band of Saracens were coming from Gilead with their camels, carrying wax, resin, balsam and stacte, proceeding to go into Mizraim. And Jehuda said to his brethren, What profit of mammon should we have if we killed our brother, and covered his blood? Come, let us sell him to the Arabians, and our hands shall not be upon him to kill him; for our brother is our own flesh. And his brethren agreed. And the Midianite men, masters of business, passed by; and they drew and brought up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Arabians for twenty mahin of silver; and they bought sandals of them. And they brought Joseph to Mizraim. And Reuben returned to the pit; for he had not been with them to assist when they sold him, because he had sat fasting on account that he had confounded the couch of his father; and he had gone and sat among the hills, that.he might return to the pit and bring him up for his father, if haply he might avert his anger. But when he had returned, and looked, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes, and returned to his brethren, and said, The youth is not; and I, whither shall I go, and how shall I see the look of my father's face? But they took the garment of Joseph, and killed a kid of the goats, because his blood is like the blood of a man, and they dabbled the garment in the blood. And they sent it by the hand of the sons of Zilpha and of the sons of Bilhah, the figured garment; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know now, whether it be thy son's garment, or not. And he recognised it and said, It is my son's garment: a beast of the wilderness hath not devoured him, neither hath he been slain by the hand of man; but I see, by t...

(Eastern or Babylonian, and the Western or Syriac. The aff...)
Eastern or Babylonian, and the Western or Syriac. The affinity which exists among all these forms of language is indicated, not only by an extensive identity of radical words but also by a sameness of grammatical developement; as in the uniformity of their roots, (which are commonly of three letters and two syllables,) and the fewness of their primary words; in the general rationale of the moods and tenses of verbs, and the copiousness of their conjugational forms ;in the junction of pronouns with verbs and nouns, and the employment of prepositions to distinguish the variations of case; in the general omission of the vowels in their written state, and the guttural character of their pronunciation. In all these respects the A ramean, Canaanitish, and A rabic languages exhibit undeniable tokens of the same parentage. The similarity of the two latter classes has been compared to that subsisting between the Doric and Attic Greek, or the High and Low Grerman of our own day. I ndeed, some great authorities have affirmed that, in their most ancient and unsophisticated state, the A rabic and Hebrew had no distinctive differences. But while this close resemblance materially diminished with the lapse of time, the kindredship of the Hebrew and Aramaic continued to be clearly defined, both in the manifest sameness of their primitive roots, and their essential grammatical laws.

scholars nonconformist minister
He was born near Newport, Isle of Wight. He received most of his early education from his father.
Though he never attended university he ultimately acquired a thorough knowledge of Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, French and German.
In 1824 he was placed on the Wesleyan Methodist plan as a local preacher. In 1826 his offer to enter the ministry was accepted, and after the usual probationary trial he was received into full connection at the conference of 1831. For two years after this he remained at Brighton, and in 1833 he removed to Cornwall, being stationed successively at the Truro and Falmouth circuits.
From Falmouth he removed to Darlaston, where in 1838 his health gave way. For a good many years he was a supernumerary, and lived for a while at Caen and Paris, where in the public libraries he found great facilities for prosecuting his favorite Oriental studies. His health having considerably improved, he became, in 1843, pastor of the Methodist church at Boulogne-sur-Mer.
He returned to England in 1847, and was appointed successively to the circuits of Islington, Bristol, Leeds, Penzance, Penryn, Truro and St Austell in east Cornwall. Shortly after his return to England he received the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg. He died at Camborne on 24 May 1866.
He is remembered mostly for his works Horae Aramaicae (1843) and History, Liturgies and Literature of the Syrian Churches (1847) and The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan ben Uzziel (1st vol. in 1862, 2nd in 1865).
