Excerpt from Tirosh Lo Yayin: Or, the Wine Question, Considered in an Entirely Novel Point of View; With a Scheme of Hebrew Wines, and Illustrations (Philosophical and Critical) Of the Principal Passages of the Bible Connected With the Subject The annexed treatise was originally intended as a companion to the two valuable essays, "Bacchus" and "Anti-Bacchus," already before the public, for the purpose of correcting errors in philology, of which both more or less partake in those chapters which touch upon the Wine Question, and errors in argument resulting therefrom. The writer is unacquainted with the author of either work, but trusts, whatever opinion they may entertain of the matter, they will not quarrel with the manner in which he has endeavoured to carry out his design. An attempt is also made to classify, as well as distinguish, the Hebrew wines, and to connect them, by name, quality, or other incidents, with the known wines of ancient Greece and Italy. By this it is hoped to lead the way towards supplying a link in the chain of argument, the absence of which, in the opinion of some, deprives the very powerful reasoning of those two authors of proper application, and, consequently, of their legitimate force. Much consideration, also, enables the writer more fully to illustrate difficult passages of the Bible connected with the subject, and to show beauty, power, and application, in many never hitherto brought to bear upon it. A new construction is ventured of two very important words, tirosh and yitzhar, which, he is not insensible, runs counter to that of the learned of several centuries; still he trusts it will be received with a kind spirit, as its obvious tendency, if established, is to create more extended views of the goodness and bounty of Him from whom cometh every good and perfect gift.
