back one by one , so that when she reached the summit , behold ! she was alone . And she saw a thick black cloud rolling towards her , and fearing to be swept away , she clung to the earth , and cried fearfully to the angel ; but he was no where seen . i Then the skirts of the cloud hid from her the gay , bright earth ; and a heavy chill fell on her .
And as the damps compassed her round about , one looked forth brightly from the cloud and smiled . It was the angel . He held forth his hand , saying , " Though thou hast ofttimes forgotten roe , behold me here in thy utmost need . " Then was revealed bright glory within the cloud , and the spirit sprang into it eagerly .
And as they sailed away into the ether , the angel cleft the cloud with his rod , and shewed unto his charge the path she had traversed . The glory in which she lay fell upon it , and made it wholly beautiful . The waters which had been dark now gleamed , and the tangled forests waved majestically in the golden light .

The Editor is his son-in-law , Charles Thilo , Theological Professor at Halle . His preface contains many interesting notices of the
author's opinions , studies , and writings . Knapp was , from the first , more a philological than a metaphysical theologian . When a student , it was his great endeavour to acquire whatever learning and knowledge should be possessed by an interpreter of the Old and New Testaments . This was proved by his Disputatio ad Vatioinium Jacobi , Gen . xlix . 1—27 , before the completion of his academical years at Gottingen ; b y the Disputatio de Versione Alexandrine in emendanda Lectione exempli Hebraici cautfe adhibenda ; and especially in his translation and illustrations of the Psalms , of which the first edition was published at Halle in 1777 . He resolved to be a
