TO TIM IDITOR OT TIN MUM

think it must be more than two years
ago since it was announced that the Bishops pro-
posed to publish a Commentary on the Bible,
which, as receiving their joint approval, would
carry, to some extent, the weight of an authorised
publication. This praiseworthy idea originated
with the Speaker of the House of Commons. Mr.
Murray, of Albemarleostreet, was appointed pub-
lisher. The general editorship was entrusted to
the Rev. Mr. Cook, and the several books of the
Bible were divided arounga. number .of competent
scholars—a number, indeed, so large that I should
have thought that it would have been finished
before this time. Now, the controversies about the
contents of the Bible that are daily arising on
every aide make it a very suitable time for the
Church to utter its opinion on the disputed points ;
and if Mr. Murray could assure us that this inten-
tion is not abandoned, and could further say when
the first portion of the Commentary is likely to be
issued, he would, I am sure, oblige many others
besides your obedient servant, S. B.
