IH general, that the poetical works of antiquity, taken together, bear no comparison to the Hebrew Hagiography, Mendelsohn exempli- fied this decision to the unlearned by exhi- biting the sublimity of the sacred Bard's thoughts, and the beauty of his versification. It is evident, throughout this performance, that every chord touched by the royal Harper caused a responsive one to vibrate in the bosom of his translator. Other versions of the Psalms may lay a claim to greater philological nicety, ...but none breathes, like Mendelsohn's, the spirit and energy of the original in its minutest shades. Every deep sigh vented by the Poet swells, as it were, the translator's heart with a cor- responding one ; at every lofty hymn to the God of Israel for the wonders he wrought for his people, it throbs with sympathizing exultation. He was ten years in accomplish- ing this work, during which he always car- ried the Hebrew Psalms, bound with alter- nate blank leaves, about him. In the pre- face he says, he did not translate them in their regular order, but selected any one of }12 ' MEMOIRS OF which the tenour was in unison with the state his mind happened to be in^ and recommends to the reader to adopt the same method.
