adding a few notes in relation to somematters existing in this country, which had escaped the attention of the author, andrendering those passages and phrases into English which had been left untranslated.Such translations are included in brackets^ It may be proper to remark, that onlythat part of the work from the eight hundred and forty second page has been printedunder the superintendence of the present editor; the former part having passedthrough the press previous to the last general conference. It is not necessary to say any thing in commendation of this work. Whatevermerit, however, may be attached to others of a similar character which have precededit, we think it will be conceded by all, that Mr. Watson, by furnishing this Dic-tionary, has supplied a desideratum, in the department of Biblical and Theologicalliterature, which had long been felt, and for doing which the religious communitywill not be backward in acknowledging its obligations. N. Bangs. New-York, Sept. 25, 1832.

Aaron was three yearsolder than his brother Moses; and when Godappeared in the burning bush, Moses havingexcused himself from the undertaking commit-ted to him, by urging that he was slow of speech,Aaron, who was an eloquent man, was madehis interpreter and spokesman ; and in effectingthe deliverance of the Hebrews we therefore findthem constantly associated. During the marchof the children of Israel through the wilderness,Aaron and his sons were appointed by God toexercise for ever the office of priests in thetabernacle. Moses having ascended the mountain to re-ceive the law from God, Aaron, his sons, andseventy elders, followed him, Exod. xxiv, 1, 2,9-11; not indeed to the summit, but afar off,and they saw the God of Israel, that is, theglory in which he appeared, as it were thepaved work of a sapphire stone, and as it werethe body of heaven for clearbiblicaltheologi01wats
