Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Additional Memorial on Printing and Importing Bibles: Containing Remarks on the Answers for Sir David Hunter Blair, Bart, and J. Bruce, Esq., His Majesty´s Printers, to the Petition of George Buchan, Esq. And Others; With a Continuation of the Appendix to the Former Memorial; For the Use of the Counsel Only This pamphlet is a sequel to the Memorial for the Bible Societies, printed in 1824. It denies that the power of conferring an exclusive privilege of printing the Bible is a legitimate branch of the royal prerogative. It proves that recent claims to the monopoly of the Bible are not supported by the practice even of the most despotic periods of our history. It exposes the inaccuracy of many editions published by privileged printers, and maintains that the greater the restraint on competition, the less must be the security either for cheap or correct impressions of the Scriptures. The Appendix is a continuation of that which was annexed to the former Memorial, and which ended at the 94th page. The Tables at the end contain proofs of the practice of importing copies of the English Bible, ever since it was translated, and proofs not less ample, of the unrestrained liberty which all printers enjoyed, of printing the other books used in public worship, and in religious instruction, such as the allowed version of the Psalms, the Westminster Confession, and the Catechisms of the Church.
