Excerpt from A New Translation of the Book of Job: With an Introduction, and Notes Chiefly Explanatory
If we have regard to the main design, the substance and spirit of the work, we shall refer it to the department of moral or reli gious philosophy. It contains the moral or religious philosophy of the time when it was produced. It is rather a philosophical religious discussion in a poetical form than an epic or dramatic poem. It is more nearly allied to the Essay on Man than to Para dise Lost, or Prometheus Vinctus. It is the effusion of the mind and heart of the author upon a moral subject which has agitated the human bosom in every age. Still, the author was a poet as well as a religious philosopher. In the mode of presenting the subject to his readers, he aimed, like other poets, to move the human feelings by exhibitions of passion and scenes of' distress, and to please the taste by the sublime flights of his imagination. He aimed to give the highest interest to his subject by clothing his thoughts in the loftiest language of poetry, and arranging them in the measured rhythm which is one of the characteristics of He brew poetry.

Excerpt from A New Translation of the Book of Job: With an Introduction, and Notes Chiefly Explanatory
The first place among the Hebrew poets has usually been as signed to Isaiah. But in what respect the Great Unknown, the author of the book of Job, can be regarded as inferior to any Hebrew poet, or any other poet, unless perhaps we except Shak speare, I am at a loss to conceive. In comprehensiveness of thought, and richness and strength of imagination, he seems to me to be unsurpassed, and in depth and tenderness of feeling incomparable, when we consider that female loveliness con stitutes no part of the interest of the work. Almost every Christian poet has felt his influence in respect both to thought and expression. But to delineate the excellences and beauties of the book of Job is a task far beyond my capacity. They must be understood arid felt, rather than described.
