Excerpt from The Septuagint Version of the Old Testament, According to the Vatican Text, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated Into English, With the Principal Various Readings of the Alexandrine Copy, and a Table of Comparative Chronology

Some introduction may be necessary to a work like the present, to explain its nature and establish its utility. To translate a translation when both the original and a direct version of that are in our hands appears a thankless task, and yet it may not be difficult to Show that so peculiar is the case of the Septuagint as to vindicate a process which if adopted with regard to any other work would be comparatively useless.
