Tue revision of the Bible, which was
commenced in 1870, is now completed.
and the labOrs of the learned body of
men who began their work 25 years ago
are ended. While this translation is
more critically exact than any that has
preceded it, and has the commentator
of scholars, il has not suppianted the
authorized version, which has been for
three centuries the pride and admira-
ton of the English world. 1t is the
glory of English Literature, and in its
pages has been found the consolation
and hope Of ten generations of mankind.
Let us hope that the revision Will prove
a blessing.
