Stephen Sewall (1734-1804) was professor of Hebrew at Harvard and was one of the leading scholars of his day, specializing in Oriental languages and Hebrew. In 1761, Sewall succeeded Judah Monis as instructor in Hebrew at Harvard, a position Sewall held for more than twenty years. This is the second Hebrew grammar produced in America, preceded only by a work by Monis published in 1735. Rosenbach asserts that the Hebrew types used in it were destroyed by fire in 1764. The final twenty-three pages are comprised of a study of Hebrew poetry. This book has an interesting provenance! Phineas Wright owned this in 1768. he was member of Harvard s Class of 1772. Wright s home still stands and operates in Bolton, Massachusetts. The Edes family, of Richard T. Edes, lived at the estate and became minister of the First Paris Church after Phineas died.
