THE NEW BIBLE.

We have received a copy of the revised New Testament just iseued before the mail left London. It is a nonpareil 32m0. volume, bound in cloth, of a brown colour. On the outside are the words, "New Testament —Revised Version —Oxford, 18S1." On the first page are the words, "The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." In the next opening we have a fuller title, "The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, translated out of the Greek : being the version set forth a.d. 1611, compared with the most ancient authorities, and revised a.d. 18S1. Printed for the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Oxford :At the University Press, 18S1. Nonpareil, 32m0. All rights reserved." The Testament is published in various styles, at prices from Is to £2. Already 2,000,000 copies have been sold. The preface is dated "Jerusalem Chambers, Westminster Abbey, 11th November, ISSO." It is somewhat lengthy, and gives an interesting history of the .English Bible, and its translations, stating the rules that have guided the present translators. We quote the following sentences : —"ln the 270 years that have passed away since their labours were concluded, the Sacred text has been minutely examined, discussed in every detail, and analyed with a grammatical precision unknown, in the days of the last revision. There has thus been accumulated a large amount o£ materials that have prepared the way for different renderings, which necessarily came under discussion. We have therefore placed before the reader in the margin other renderings .than those which were, adopted in the text, whenever such renderings seemed to deserve consideration. The rendering in the text, where it agrees with the authorised edition, was supported by at least one-third, and where it differs from the authorised version by at least twothirds of those who were present at the second revision of the passage in question." The preface concludes as follows : —

We now conclude, humbly commending our labours to Almighty God, and praying that His favour and blessing may be' vouchsafed to that which has been done in His name. We recognised from the first the responsibility of tho undertaking ; and through our manifold experience of its abounding difficulties wo have felt more and more,- as we went onward, that such a work can nevor be accomplished by organised efforts of scholarship and criticism, unless assisted by Divino help. We know full well that defects must have their place in a work so long and so arduous as this which has now come to an end. Blemishes and imperfections there a-e in the noble translation which we have been called upon to reviso: blemishes and imperfections will assuredly be found in our own revision. All endeavours to translate tho Holy Scriptures into another tongue must fall short of their aim, when the obligation is imposed of producing a version that shall be alike literal and idiomatic, faithful to each thought of the original, and yet, in the expression of it, harmonious and free. While we dare to hope that in places not a few of the Now ; Testament the introduction of slight changes has cast a new light upon much that was difficult and obscure, we. cannot forget how often we have failed in expressing some finer shade of meaning which we recognised in the original, how often idiom has stood in the-wayof a perfect rendering, and how often tho attempt to preserve a familiar form of words, or oven a familiar cadence, has only added another perplexity to those which already beset us. Thus, in the review of the work which we have been permitted to complete, our closing words must be words of mingled thanksgiving, humility, and prayer. Of thanksgiving, for the many blessings vouchsafed to us throughout the unbroken progress of our corporate labours; of humility, for our failings and imperfections in the fulfilment of our task ; and-of prayer to -Almighty God, that tho Gospel of Our' Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may be more clearly and more freshly, shown forth to all who shall be readers of this book.

; In February, 1870, a resolution was unaniadopted by both Houses of Convocation at Canterbury to appoint a joint committee to report upon the desirability of the revision of the authorised version of the Old and New Testaments, whether by marginal notes or otherwise, in all these passages where plain clear errors, whether in the Hebrew or Greek text, originally adopted by translators or in translation made from' the same, shall, on due investigation, be found to exist. On May 7th the committee reported that a revision of the authorised version was very desirable, and that one should be conducted so as to include the marginal renderings and such emendations as it might be found necessary to insert in the original text. The rebort further says:—" No new translation of the Bible is contemplated or any alteration of the language, except where, in the judgment of the most competent sicholars, such change is necessary ; that if siueh necessary changes are made the existing style shall be closely followed ; that the Convention should nominate a body of its own members to undertake the work of revision, who shall be at liberty to invite correspondence with any persons eminent for scholarship, irrespective of nationality or religion." COMPOSITION OF THE REVISING COMMITTEES. The committee on the Old Testament consisted of the Bishops of St. David's, Landoff, Ely, Lincoln, Bath and Wells, Archdeacon Rose, Canon Selwyn, and' Drs. Jebb and McKay. They were assisted by Dr. W. L. Alexander, Professor Chenery, Canon Cook, Professors Davidson, Fairburn, Leathes, McGill, Peerown, Drs. Davis, Ginsburg, and Gotsch, Archdeacon Harrison, and W. A. Wright. The American members of the commission were ProfessorsjGrecn (of Princeton), Day (of New Haven), Dewitt (of New Brunswick, N.J.), Hare (of Philadelphia), Packard (of Fairfax), Stowe and Strong (of Madison), Lewis Schenestade and Van Deyck and Beyroot. The English committee on the New Testament consisted of the Bishops of Winchester, Gloucester, and Salisbury, the Deans of Canterbury and Westminster, Canon Blakeslee, assisted by Drs. Angus, Sadie, Lightfoot, Newth, Robert Scott, Vanghan, Professors Milligan; Moulton, Newth, Canons Kennedy aud Westcott, Right Rev. Messrs. Hart and Humphrey, and Professor Roberts. The American members of the committee on the Revision of the New Testament were : ExPresident Woolsey of New Haven, Professors Abbott of Cambridge, Short ot New York, Hackett of Rochester, Hodge of Princeton, Kendrick of Rochester, Riddle of Hartford, Smith of New iTork, Thayer of Andover, and Warren of Boston; Drs. Crookes, Lee, and Wellington, and Washburn of New York. The English committee on the New Testament met regularly in Jerusalem Chambers under the presidency of the Bishops of Gloucester and Bristol. Meetings were held forty days in each year. The committee on the Old Testament mot five times each year. The revision of the Now Testament was completed in Jerusalem Chambers, November 11, ISSO. The American committee was under tho presidency of Dr. Philip Schaff, Professor Day of Yale College being Corresponding Secretary, and Professor Short of Columbia College Treasurer. The committee held meetings in the Bible House, New York. THE WORK A PROFOUND SECRET.

Since the clause of the labors of the committees the most profound secrecy has been observed in everything relating to the revision save the date of publication. None except those directly connected with the work of publication have been permitted to know the smallest particular. Even the size of type and of the volume have been kept a profound secret. An eminent writer says : '' The revised version will not materially impair the integrity of this priceless heritage. It will take its stand by the side of the old cherished version. In time, if found worthy, it will take its place just as the authorized version itself took the place of its predecessors, whose language it retained for the most part, and gradually displaced the Geneva version, once popular both in England and Scotland. Its solid frame-work and majestic language, venerable even in tho

time of James I, and still archaic only in its stately grace and flow, which have almost vanished from, modem English, will still be retained. No changes will be made except where change is necessary in the paramount interests of truth and accuracy. The New Testament will become a still more faithful transcript of the Greek text than before, but it will nevertheless retain the venerable, familiar features of the Bible., No .Englishman who loves the English' language will ever hesitate to regard it as holy. In Matthew alone over 200 italic words, incorrectly employed, are changed. The names of some persons are reduced to one name, as in Boose, Boase; Urisa, Urias ; Ezekill, Eziah; Asiah, Isaiah ; Hosea, Ozea ; Asher, Aser; Saron, Sharon ; Eliza, Elizeur ; Elijah, Elias ; Moab, Moe ; Fagar, Agar ; Korsh, Cor; Hezekiah, Ezenas; Jehoshophat, Kosofat; Rehoboam, Robosam; Joshua, Jesus. In some 5000 instances ■ the term "Jehovah " has been substituted in the New Testament for "Lord, God," "King," &c.; "A babe in the manger," has been changed to "The babe," &c; "By the truth," is changed to "By truth" ; " The scornful," is changed to " Scorner"; "The house of prayer," is "A house of prayer"; "God be merciful to me, a sinner," is "God be merciful to me, the sinner" ; " Art thon a master in Israel?" is. "Art thou the teacher of Israel?" CHANGES IN' WORDS. Over three hundred words having now different meanings are altered. The principal ones thus changed are '' affect," Gal. iv, 17 ; "affections," Gal. v, 24 ; "after," Gal. iv, 23; "allege,"Acts xvii, '3; "Answer,"Matt, xvii, 4; "anywise apprehended," Phil, iii, 14; "approve," Rom. ii, IS; "assay, "Acts ix, 26 ; "attendance," I Tim. iv, 13; "audience," Luke vii, 1; "base," I Cor. x, 1 ; '' believers," I Tim. iv, 12;" bewray," Matt, xxvi, 23 ; "bowels," II Cor. vi, 12 ; "brethren," Matt, xxviii, S ; " by," A, I Cor. iv, 4; j " by and by," Matt, xiii, 21 ;" carefulness," , II Cor. viii, 2 ; "carriages," Acts xxi, 15 ; I "charges," Matt, xi'v, S; " chasten," Heb. xii, 15; "clean," "cleanse," Matt, viii, 2 ; " comfort," " comforter," " comfortless," John xiv, 16 ; " command," Luke viii, 46 ; "common," Acts x, 14; "communicate," Gal. vi,6; "communication," Matt, v, 36; "consort," Acts vii, 4 ; "constantly," Acts xii, 15; "contrariwise," I Peter iii, 9; "conversation," I Peter i, 15; "convince," John viii, 46; "corrupt," "corruption, " corruptible," Matt, vi, 19 ; "covet," I Cor. vii, 3; "cumbered," Luke x, 40 ; "damnation," I Cor. xi, 29.
