Excerpt from Our English Bible: Its Translations and Translators
It is forty years since the Author began to study the history of "Our English Bible." At that period he spent several weeks in the British Museum, examining early versions and editions. He also visited Oxford, Cambridge, and Lambeth, to inspect some of their MS. treasures. The results of these investigations have already appeared in anonymous publications; and now, having revised and abridged his original materials, he finally commits them to the press, in a more popular form.
Within the last half-century many corrections have been made in the details of Bible history, and many important particulars have been added to our previous knowledge.
