aid of the Turkish empire, justifiable, or
even necessary? 155. And see Pin-

sian character, 163; representations con-

yet it is the leading theme in the psalms,
411; unless a scriptural taste is sedu-
lously cultivated, the multiplication of

412; versions of the psalms might be
arranged according to their subject-mat-
ter, 413; present work has evidently
been compiled with much care, 414.
