placed in the hands of the london publishers last saturday in a review of the work the london times y of this close of the labor of fourteen years : this revision is the mosi important eveut in the history of the bible since the publication of the king james translation in 1611 the . success of the old testament may not ( be as great as that of the new of i which more than a million copies were sold on the day of publication and more than three millions of copies be fore the close of the year but it will | probably be more favorably received and less severely criticised for it involves no changes of the hebrew text — no older manuscripts than the masoretic having been discovered and '\ the idiom of the authorized version is most carefully preserved out of regard for the conservative feeling of the church in its attachment for the lan e of the old version all errors of translation however have been re ! moved and the revision will be pro ] nounced by every competent bible reader to be a very great improve ment it presents the results of the com bined labor of a large number of thf best hebraists and biblical scholars of england and the united states ui st of them professors of hebrew univer sities and seminaries it has more over the advantage of the vast ad 1 vances of the last fifty years in ii n tal philology biblical geography his \ tory and antiquities all of which were ■ but imperfectly understood by the forty-seven translators of king lames ! although it is freely admitted that they did the very be-t in their day the new version is not a good version in the place of a bad one but a good improvement of a good version the first meeting of the new tes ; ; tament company in england was he'd i june 22d 1870 on the 7th of july following the two houses of convoca ! lion voted to invite the co-operation of some american divines and to bishop wilberforce and dean suinley was assigned soon afterwards the du ty of securing this result they au thorized l)v angus who was contem plating a visit to america to open correspondence with the rev !>;-. schaff and other american scholars while in the united states in regard to this work in august 1870 dr angus sent letters to various ameri can scholars in which he explained j the plan of the english work and suggested the formation of an ameri can committee of twelve or eighteen to which the work of the

the result of the work of the american committee these results are found everywhere throughout the book in the poetical books sheol re places hell which has been changed in prose pages to the grave and the pit with sheol in the margin of these renderings hell says the pre face if it could be taken in its origi nal sense as used in the creeds would be a fairly inadequate equivalent for the hebrew word but it is sn com monly understood as the place for tor ment that to employ it frequently lead to inevitable misunderstanding in isaiah xiv where hell is used in more of its original souse the re visers have left hell in the text put ting the sheol in the margin the several days of the creation are made more prominent by breaks of a line between the verses theex pedient has enabled the revisers to make u*u of the dialogue form and to show the dramatic character of the song of songs the first chapter of which for example is divided into seven speeches a striking improve ment is the printing of all poetical passages in poetic form examination of the more familiar passages and phrases discloses the fact that care was taken in preserving the intact household words of the old testament the old literary form has been held sacred and the revisers can not be charged with any pedantic straining after the original text hut not all the familiar features of the scripture have

large company of christian cler gymen in this country and another in england have been engaged for fif teen years in the preparation of this book and we arc now to have the re sult of their joint labors liio object of making this revision or new trans lation appears to be o obtain a closer and more exact renderthg of the orig inal and incidentally to modernize the book bv the substitution of mod ern words for some which have be came obsolete since the version now in use was prepared some two hun dred and fifty years ago it is stated that the revisers have examined care fully every sentence of the bo ik with the view of correcting errors of trans lation and that in order to insure perfect accuracy they have diligently compared several of the most ancient copies in existence emphasis has been given to the fact that the revis ers are not all of one creed almost every section of the protestant wing of the christian church being repre sented that provision was wise for a creed very stubbornly held is liable to affect the impartiality of judges in a matter vitally affecting the basis of the creeds but it is strange that if accuracy was the object chiefly desir ed no representative of the roman catholic church was invited to assist and still more remarkable that in translating a bonk the original of which was written in hebrew b jew ish poets and seers no invitation was extended to a jewish scholar who surely might have been expected to have superior qualifications for the wmk personal the democrai office building was injured so seriously by the
