Excerpt from The Holy Scriptures of the Old Covenant, Vol. 1: In a Revised Translation; Containing the Five Books of Moses, With the Books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth

The necessity for a revision of the Common Version of the Holy Scriptures is so generally recognised, that it would be superfluous here to repeat the arguments in its favour. At the same time, the obstacles to a revision by authority are so numerous, that there is little prospect of its being speedily accomplished. It cannot be thought presumptuous, therefore, if individuals take upon themselves an office, which seems to he declined by those public bodies to which it more properly be longs; and endeavour to offer to readers of the Scriptures a more faithful representation of their text and meaning, than they can obtain from the Common Version.
