It is reported from Washington
that 5000 copies of the Jefferson
Bible' will soon have been printed
by the government printing office,
and will be distributed according to
the provisions of the act of Congress
authorizing the reproduction. The
Senate will receives, 900 copies and
the House 5000 copies.
This curious book is made up of
cuttings selected by Mr.. jefferson
the authorized version. In making
his selections he eliminated all mira
cles and in other ways wrote at vari-
ance with the accepted traditions of
the clergy af all sects. The original
book is in a very poor state of pres
ervation, but it was not injured by
the photographers in making their re-
productions.
Of the work Mr.. Jefferson himself
said:
cit is a paradigm of Jesus's doc
trines made by cutting the texts out
of the books and arranging them on
the pages of a blank book in a GER
taiu order of time or subject. A more
beautiful or precious morsel of ethics
L have never seem"
The work is valuable merely as a
curiosity, but it serves to show what
an interchangeable worker Mr.. Jefer-
son was. That such a busy man
should have found time to make q
revised edition of the Bibles another
tribute to his geuius and energy.
