845. By J. Olshausen in Hirzel’s Hiob, p. 60 note.—But Ewald says expressly (Ijob, 1854, p. 126) that Rahab is everywhere a mythological name for a sea-monster, even where it stands for Egypt.—Tr.

849. The literal and only possible translation of the first three words of the verse, geʿar chayyath ḳaneh, rendered correctly in the Septuagint and Vulgate; for which the English A.V. unaccountably substitutes ‘Rebuke the company of spearmen,’ while the Prayer-book version goes even further astray.—Tr.
850. Baʿal kûn, see Movers, I. 292.
851. Job IX. 8; bâmothê yâm.—Tr.
852. Is. XIV. 14; bâmothê ʿâbh.—Tr.
853. It will be inferred from the above reasoning, that I should be inclined to assign an early age to the writer of the Book of Job. But I can find no reason for making him older than Amos; indeed, he may have lived into the lifetime of Isaiah. I must further remark that Schlottmann (Das Buch Hiob verdeutscht und erläutert, pp. 69–105, especially 101 et seqq.) has expressed ideas similar to those propounded by me, though starting from assumptions utterly different in principle. To the passages of Job which he places side by side with corresponding ones of Amos (p. 109), the following may be added: Amos V. 8 and IX. 6, ‘who calleth to the water of the (Cloud-) Sea,’ and Job XXXVIII. 34, ‘wilt thou lift up thy voice to the Cloud?’

862. E.g. the Lady-bird, in German Marienkäfer; its Danish name, Marihöne, was, according to Grimm, anciently Freyjuhöna ‘Freyja’s hen.’ So Venus’ Looking-glass (Speculum Veneris) is also called Lady’s Glass; Pecten Veneris is Lady’s Comb. There are very numerous plants named after Our Lady, which were probably originally dedicated to Freyja or Venus, as Lady’s Mantle; Lady’s Thistle or Lady’s Milk (Carduus Marianus: ‘distinguished at once by the white veins on its leaves.... A drop of the Virgin Mary’s milk was conceived to have produced these veins, as that of Juno was fabled to be the origin of the Milky Way.’ Hooker and Arnott, British Flora, p. 231); Lady’s Smock (Cardamine); Lady’s Bower or Virgin’s Bower (Clematis); Lady’s Fingers (Anthyllis); Lady’s Tresses (Spiranthes or Neottia); Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium).—Tr.
863. As this German example will not be familiar to all English readers, it is necessary to give a few words of explanation. The great Deluge (Gen. VI.-VIII.) is called in modern German Sünd-fluth, which seems to be Sin-flood = Flood on account of sin. But in Old High German it is written Sin-vluot and Sint-vluot, which cannot be identical with the assumed meaning of the modern word, since sin (peccatum) is in Old High German sunta. Moreover, sin is a prefix well known to most of the Teutonic languages, denoting (1) always, (2) great. In the former sense we have it in the Old English singrene ‘evergreen;’ in the latter in the Anglo-Saxon sinhere ‘great army.’ Hence it is assumed that the word in German altered its pronunciation when the prefix sin became obsolete, being then supposed to be intended for Sünd-fluth, as is shown in the text. See Grimm, Deut. Gram. II. 554, Graff, Althochd. Sprachschatz, VI. 25, Ettmüller, Lex. Anglosax. p. 638, Vigfusson, Icelandic English Dict. s. v. Sí. Prof. Steinthal appears now (in a letter to the translator) to doubt whether this history of the word is tenable; but the assumption that it is so may at least be allowed, in order to retain this excellent example of the psychological progress.—Tr.
865. Ps. XIX. 6 [5].
866. Judges XVI. 28: ‘Give me strength only this once, O God, and I will avenge myself with the vengeance of one of my two eyes on the Philistines.’ This is the only possible meaning of the very simple Hebrew words nekam achath mishshethê ʿênay, which were misunderstood by the LXX and Vulg.; and the German and English versions have merely followed the latter.—Tr.
867. Jer. X. 12, V. 24; Gen. VIII. 22.

‘We find from this book—a large part, and by far the more valuable part, of which is new—that Mr. Harrison has devoted careful attention to what we shall call the constructive problems of political science. Whoever has mistaken him for a commonplace Radical, either of the Chartist or the Trades Unionist type, has been wrong.... The best political thinkers for a quarter of a century or upwards have more or less vaguely felt that one grand problem they had to solve was how our governing apparatus may be made to yield good government; but we are not aware that any writer has looked it more fully in the face, or more carefully scanned it with a view to a solution, than Mr. Harrison.’
