Excerpt from The Making of the English Bible: With an Introductory Essay on the Influence of the English Bible on English Literature
In the following pages an attempt is made to indicate the sources of the English Bible and to estimate the literary influences that have conspired to make it the most venerable of our classics. The history of its external fortunes has been recently told with knowledge and ability by Mr. H. W. Hoare in his Evolution of the English Bible, and for the first time its great obligations to the Roman Catholic English Version have been fully illustrated by Dr. J. G. Carleton in his The Part of Rheims in the Making of the English Bible. Dr. Lupton"s general account of the English Versions in Hastings" Dictionary of the Bible (extra volume) is scholarly and abreast of our latest information.
