The first of two volumes, chiefly anonymous, and almost entirely relating to questions of criticism of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament; collected, and for the most part written, by J. Bland, 18th century
Bland was the author of a tract on The Majesty of Hebrew Language, published anonymously in 1745, and of version of the Song of Solomon, published with his name 1750.
These papers were bound together by Rawlinson in utter confusion, but are now placed in the nearest degree of order which seems attainable.
