Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bishop´s English: A Series of Criticisms, on the Right Rev. Bishop Thornton´s Laudation of the Revised Version of the Scriptu Res; And Also on the English of the Revisers, Showing That the Version Put Forth by Them, and Likewise the Authorised Version, Contain Errors Again The English language is the common property of us all for our mutual benefit; and our duty is strenuously to oppose all corrupting influences which would mar the beauty of the language, weaken its force, and degrade it from its proud prerogative of being a sacred shrine for our noblest aspirations. Hence the compilation of this work, which consists of criticisms on the English of the Revisers and on the English of the Right Reverend Bishop Thornton, the latest advocate on behalf of the so-called "Revised" Version of the Bible. Perhaps the public, if they care at all about the matter, will not be surprised at my taking up the gauntlet which the Bishop, in publishing his essay on this subject, has thus thrown down; for, I do so in defence of a position which I carried at the point of the pen, forty years ago in combat with the late Dean Alford, and twenty years ago in combat with the Revisers and their champions.
