PREFATORY NOTE. THESE essays on the various aspects of the AngloAmerican Bible Revision now going on, are issued by the American Revision Committee as an explanatory statement to the friends and patrons of the cause, with the distinct understanding that suggestions and statements in regard to any particular changes to be made, express only the individual opinions of the writer, but not the final conclusions of the two Committees, who have not yet finished their work. NEW YORK, March, 1879. PHILIP SCHAFF, In behalf of the Committee. SECOND EDITION. A SECOND edition of this work being called for, some inaccuracies have been corrected. The book is published by the American SundaySchool Union at Philadelphia, and has already been twice republished in London during the last summer. The American Committee has prepared the book exclusively for the American public, and is in no way responsible for the English reprints; but these several editions are an encouraging proof that the interest in the revision is rapidly growing on both sides of the Atlantic.
