The Psalms, Solomon and Sacred Writers

PREFACE afresh from the excellent Greek Text of Drs. Westcott and Hort. To these eminent scholars the Translator desires to express his indebtedness; as also to the late Bishops Wordsworth and Bloomfield, Professor Alford, and others. And for invaluable assistance received from many friends- both clerical and lay———in the revision of the work, the heartiest thanks are hereby tendered. Special mention must be made of the critical examination made by an accomplished Finnish gentleman, who has compared the whole with the Original Texts of Professor Tischendorf and others, besides personally assisting in the English composition. The present issue thus constitutes a fresh translation

entirely founded upon Drs. Westcott and Hort’s critically accurate Greek Text, and with all weak or faulty renderings corrected. To it the Translator has added critical notes, to passages seeming to require them, and he hopes they may be of use to his readers. During its progress this work has been approved by

Dr. Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury; Dr. Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury; Prof. ]. S. Blackie, of Edinburgh University; Prof. Oliver Wendell Holmes, of Boston, U.S.A.; Prof. C. A. L. Totten, of Yale University, U.S.A.; The Very Rev. E. Plumptre, D.D., Dean of Wells; The Rev. H. S. Champneys, Rector of Epperstone; The Rev. Bowen, B.D., Rector of St. Lawrence, Pembroke; Keshub Chunder Sen, Calcutta, India; The Rev. H. Stretton, Vicar of Eastville, Lines; The Rev. Charles Garrett, Ex—Presiclent of the Wesleyan Conference; The Rev. Davis, D.D., Ontario, Canada; and numerous others, who urged the Translator to complete his work by a version of the whole Bible on the same plan, which he has now accomplished, by the help of God.
