Generally speaking, We have rot
liked rearranged and "nodcrnized"
editions OF the Bible, which usually
serve no good purpose and do-though
unlntenticnally- ly-some harm. The
present work. however, must be more
favoraby regarded. The identity of
the persons responsible for it must be
an ample guarantee of its reverence
and its scholarship, end while we can
rot perceive good reason for some Of
the pecuiaritles Of rearrangement or
for some of the literary forms en-
plcyed, we must regard it as on .he
whole an interesting and useful piece
Of work. We should not suggest that
i be substituted for the Authorized
Version, but we should think that
IL valuable supplement thereto.
