" Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the
French Church at Berlin; represented to the late King of
Prussia, that the French translations of the Bible began to be
neither so intelligible nor agreeable to be read as they were at
first, and that therefore to be edified by them required that
they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which
that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal
Decree appointed them to make a new translation.' —P. 372.
A Complete History of the several Translations of the Holy
Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print,
and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention
of printing, by John Lewis, A.M., Chaplain is the Right Hon.
Thomas Earl of Melton, and Minister of Margate, in Kent,
1739.
" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla-
tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation
of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of
the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo-
logians as any in the whole rook, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
" University Education." " The great resorts and seats of
learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as
the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great
measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse,
knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other
sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to ,
which the world have had access,and have drank plentifully at
these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the
tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege.
All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred
years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they
are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will
notbuclge, whatever was not known when they were'endowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of. '---Hazlitt's Table

If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes-
tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious
vantages, to the Popish superstition. The Morning Sun,

" I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision—
Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought
to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment
among all. denominations of Christians now at variance with
each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine—under this
impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance."—
Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824.
" The Catholic authorized version was first published at
Douay in the year 1609. It was the result of forty years' toil
and labour, and can fairly stand a eomparison with any other
version of the Sacred Scriptures, published in any country,
either Popish or Protestant."
