Lond. 1716.

A complete English Version of the Septuagint, from such an Edition of the Greek Text as that begun by Dr. Holmes, and of which the Pentateuch has been published, fol. Oxon, 1798-would, it is to be hoped, meet with a favourable reception by the British public. But such a work cannot be expected, till such a MECENAS as Dr. Barrington, Bishop of Durham, has been to the Greek Text begun by Dr. Holmes, arises in behalf of an English version.
