Excerpt from Considerations on the Revision of the English Version of the New Testament The following work is written to supply a need which, at the present time, may be felt by many. We seem to need a Hand-book, which, in an easy and popular manner, and yet, at the same time, with reasonable accuracy, might put before us the whole subject of the Revision of the Holy Scriptures. This work aspires to be such a Hand-book in reference to the New Testament. It has two main objects - First, to give the general reader that competent knowledge of the subject which may enable him to enter into the present movement with interest and intelligence. Secondly, to place on record some experiences that were acquired by the writer, when engaged with others in an attempt to revise some portions of the Authorized Version of the New Testament. Such experiences, it is humbly believed, will be found useful at the present time, and may be perhaps permitted to minister some guidance to individual scholars who may be called upon to take part in the Revision now recommended by Convocation.

Excerpt from The Revision of the English Version of the New Testament As the question of revising for public use the English Version of the Holy Scriptures has at last assumed a definite practical shape in Great Britain, and must before long claim the serious attention of all churches which use the same version, it occurred to me that this important subject could not be better introduced to American scholars than by a republication of the recent treatises of Archbishop Trench, Bishop Ellicott, and Professor Lightfoot, on the principles and mode of revision. Some friends, whose judgment I value, agreed with me in this opinion. Accordingly, I asked the consent of the esteemed authors, which was promptly and cheerfully given. The eminent divines, whose works are united in this volume, are above all others qualified to speak with authority on the subject of revision. They bring to its discussion ample learning in classical, Biblical, and English literature, a high order of exegetical skill and tact, sound judgment, long experience, conservative tact, profound reverence for the Word of God, and a warm affection for the Authorized Version. They are also well acquainted with the labors of German divines, who have made large and valuable contributions to every department of Biblical science.

Excerpt from On a Fresh Revision of the English New Testament During the last summer, immediately before the Company appointed for the Revision of the English New Testament held its first sitting, I was invited to read a paper on the subject before a Clerical meeting. Finding that I had already written more than I could venture to read even to a very patient and considerate audience, and receiving a request from my hearers at the conclusion that the paper should be printed, I determined to revise the whole and make additions to it before publication. The result is the present volume. Owing to various interruptions its appearance has been delayed much longer than I had anticipated.
