THE SOCIETY in SCOTLAND for PROPAGATING
CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, , • ..
BEG leave to state to a benevolent Public, that the
Edition of the Old Testament Scriptures in Gaelic,
which with the:aid of Charitable Contributions they formerly
caused to be translated and published,' is now nearly ex-
hausted. The demand for this part of the Bible, in the High-
lands and Islands, where multitudes, by means of the So-
ciety's Schools, have been taught to` read the Scriptures in.
, their own Language, is loud and urgent. In the year 1796,
the Society published an Edition of the New Testament,
consisting of zo,ooo copies. I t will yield them great satis-
lattion to be enabled .also to publish another Edition of the
Old Testament, and trusting to the aid of a generous Public,
they propose to print it in a neat portable size, to be distri-
buted among their Schools gratis, and to be sold to pu;chasers
at a very low price. _ The obje& is so important, arid Soirn-
, mediately connected with the interestof Religion, that they
cannot .entertain a doubt of its obtaining the serious attention
of the benevolent and well-disposed. -
• If the Funds.of the Society were equal to the expence, they
would never-have thought of thus applying for public aid.
Legacies; it is true, of great Magnitude, and with great grati-
tude publicly acknowledged, have not many years ao bee
bequeathed to the Society. Of the appropriation ofg the in-
n
terest of these sums, to the enlargement of their Establish-
ment, and a much needed increase of Salaries to the Teachers
employed by them, they have given repeatedly most particu-
la•F accounts to the Public ; they have no conceidiverts, ”ritt
earnestly wish, that the 'Statements which Irons. time to
time they publish, were to be read by ail who take an inte-
rest in the subjects of them—the truth is, that they are re-
strained by tteir Charter from encroachment upon their
Stock; and that their annual revenue is 'stretched to its ut-
most extent, in supporting their large Establishment, they
are therefore totally disabled from meeting the extraordinary
demand which this Work will occasion; to this, it is hoped,
the Public will readily give credit; when they are told, that
the• number of Teachers, Catechists, Missionary Ministers,
and Bursars, whom they maintain, amounts to 3.17, 'at the
annual dxpence ql. k .3,573 ; that of Scholars attending the
Schools ot the.Soi:iety, for the instruction in the first prin-
ciples of Literature and Religion, to 13,694, and of those
- who attend their Schools for Industry, to zozs —Mall, 15,719.
The multitude of people whir receive instfuetion front their
Missionary Ministers and Catechists, they cannot compute.
The supplying to the Inhabitants of the Highlands and
.. Islands, the Scriptures, in their own language, and at a.sunall
price, cannot but appear to every reflecting mind an object
most benevolent and important. Td furnish them, gratis,
to so great a number of paor.children as are taught at, the So.:
ciety's Schools, will, it is.hOpert,'.be deemed one of the best
direted of all Charities. .
Donations; or Subscriptions, will be received•in London by
Charles Grant. Esq. M.P. ;. at. Messrs. DoWn, Thornton,
and Co.'s; and at Messrs. Lefevre, Curries, and Co.'s,
Treasurer of the Corresponding Board ; and Messrs:.Coutts,
and Co. Bankers', in the Strand.• In Glasgow, by Messrs.
Scpti; Moncrieff, and Dale. In Edinburgh, by Sir William
Forbes and Co. Bankers; and- by any •of the D,xectors, or
principal Officers of the Society. In the other Towns of
Great Britain' it is hoped that the Ministers of the Gospel
will not decline to take upon them this trouble.
