I'm new version Of the Bible is severely
criticised BY a leading London journal.
The system upon which tho revisers appear
to have acted is pronounced erronerous and
dsplorable, especially in mendina the En-
giish and improving tho grammar Of passa-
ges which have struck deep root in the
hearts and memory Of the Bnglish people.
1t 10 alleged that moods and lenses have
been shifted about to the satisfaction Of
some peadent's scheme of syntaotical SYM
netry. Sentences treasured up in the pop
ular mind and enriched beyond descrip-
tion by pathetic associations Of hundreds
OF years have been tortured and erucified
Into precise grammatical accord with the
latest re6nements Of critical labor, and thus
been robbed Of all their true value. It is
evident that tho new revision is to be a
prominent topic Of discussion for a lone
time to como, and will not be readilv
adopted by tho present generation, at least.
