Excerpt from Notes on Select Passages of the Greek Testament: Chiefly With Reference to Recent English Versions

Whether the departure from precedent in the issue of a portion of the Revised version as soon as completed, without waiting till the holy bible in its integrity, the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms, together with their counterparts in the teachings of Christ and his Apostles, could be presented to a Church built upon the foundation of both, was a judicious step, may admit of a doubt. One consequence of it, which might have been anticipated, has taken place; namely, that it has drawn down upon the devoted heads of the first adventurers a hail of criticism, some part of which might have been diverted to that other band of heroes which has yet to stand on its defence. When the time comes for the O. T. Company to bespeak a share of the public attention, it is to be feared that its utter anoes will fall somewhat fiat upon the exhausted energies of reviewers and correspondents. On the other hand it may be taken as an undoubted gain, that by this mode of publication an experiment has been made, the results of which may furnish useful suggestions for the future conduct of the undertaking. The pulse of the patient has been felt; and the doctors will do well to make a note of it. From the nature of the reception accorded to the Revised N. T. Two important facts may be considered as placed beyond all reasonable doubt: first, that public opinion has declared itself unmistakably in favour of revision; a question on which, before the inception of the work, learned men, including, perhaps, some of the Revisers themselves, were not agreed; and secondly, that the same public opinion which sanctions the undertaking, and does not question the competence of those who have been entrusted with it, reserves to itself the right of the freest discussion of the manner in which it has been executed. This right it has not scrupled to exercise on that portion of the work which has been.
