Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: Translated Out of the HebrewAN acquaintance with the history of the Canterbury Revision of the Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures may be assumed.The results are before the world in the editions issued by the Uni versity Presses of Oxford and Cambridge, appearing in the body of the text, in the marginal renderings, and in the Appendix. Showing the instances in which the American Revision Company differed from the English Company.In the present edition of the Psalms the preferences of the American Revision Company expressed in that Appendix, so far as they relate to this portion of the Old Testament, are wrought into the text and margin, while the preferences of the English Company are clearly shown in the Appendix hereto. The work includes nothing more than this, and for this neither the American Company nor any mem ber of it is responsible.Whether this edition should have been produced can scarcely be questioned. It seems to be a simple matter of justice to the Ameri can Revisers, inasmuch as it is indispensable to a proper appreciation of their many and valuable suggestions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
