The Delitzsch Hebrew New Testament wasn't the first on the scene. The London Society's version of 1817 was based on the very first Hebrew New Testament translated by Elias Hutter in 1599 for his gorgeous Polyglot Bible. It was criticized by many including Delitzsch for limiting itself to the vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible and rejecting the Mishnaic Hebrew of the time of Christ while at the same time using Greek words like "baptize" and writing Greek names as they were pronounced in English. Nonetheless it was groundbreaking in its time and is an opportunity to talk about some of the issues, historical personages, and old books that you're about to encounter.
