Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Own English Bible: Its Translators and Their Work, the Manuscript Period In issuing this Second Edition, the author wishes to express his warmest thanks for the cordial way in which the first has been received. They are especially due to the Right Honourable Lord Peckover, LL.D., etc., who has given him the use of his splendid collection of Bibles and Biblical literature ; and presented the first edition to a number of the leading Libraries. We both travelled through the same text-book in the conduct of a Bible-class, where these labours originated, and his high scholarship has made his patronage and friendship a memorable encouragement. To Lord and Lady William Cecil also the warmest thanks are due, and are hereby presented. Lady Cecil assisted her father, the late Baron Amherst, for years with his magnificent library, of which she said, "It was very complete, from the earliest Manuscripts through every stage of the printed Editions. I can never forget the many, many happy hours I spent with him collating and comparing each precious volume, which he always touched with the gentle finger of a true book lover." Lady Cecil thought so highly of the present volume that she suggested its purchase to Queen Alexandra. Both she and the Dowager-Queen of Sweden have ordered copies. I wish to acknowledge also the most gracious help of Professor Skeat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
