Excerpt from The Plenary Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures: A Paper Read Before the Society of the Alumni the Theological Seminary of June 24, 1885The Convocation of Canterbury at its recent meeting thanked the revisers of the authorized version of the Old Testament for the unwearied labor and singular dili gence which they have expended during many years in completing the weighty task entrusted to them. Their unwearied labor and singular diligence were emphasized by the statement of Archdeacon Harrison, that the re vision, as completed in eighty-five sessions, occupied seven hundred and ninety-two days, and that on each of these days the company generally sat for six hours. At the same meeting of Convocation the Bishop of Winchester declared that great thanks were due to the Americans for their assistance, and we are reminded as we gather on this hill that to the learned revisers in the Old World there were added learned revisers from the New, and that, in our own modern Bible-house, the same unwearied labor and singular diligence were expended which won the thanks of Convocation for the toilers in the venerable Jerusalem chamber. We know, too, that to the toil of the two years devoted to the sessions there must be added the toil in the closet and the cloister during the remainder of the four teen years devoted to ascertaining the pure and native significance of the Word. And then to the labor on the Old there must be added the labor on the New Testament.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
