A reprint in roman type of the first edition of 1611 (No. 240). Sold by E. Gardner, London. Inserted is a four-page pamphlet, dated 14 Jan. 1834, which begins: Complaints having been made that the English Bibles printed at the Universities, besides necessary alterations in the spelling, differed greatly from the Authorized Version of the Scriptures, and a Committee of Dissenting Ministers having addressed a letter on the subject to the ViceChancellor, bearing date London, April 2, 1832, the Delegates of the Press took the most effectual method for enabling themselves and others to judge how far these complaints were well-founded. They commenced an exact Reprint in Roman letter of the original Edition of King James printed in the year 1611, and were able to complete and publish it in the month of November, 1833, having previously issued the Book of Genesis as a Specimen. They also caused a most minute Collation to be made of the Oxford 4to. Bible of the year 1824, with the copy of the above-mentioned Edition of 1611, which is in use at the University Press. Some doubts moreover having arisen as to the perfectness of the Copies now remaining of the early Editions, the following Bibles were examined, sheet by sheet, and the papers recording the result of this examination, together with the Collations and the Pamphlets and other Documents which appeared during the progress of the Controversy, are preserved in the Archives of the Delegates.' Then follows a list of over 50 Bibles examined. The controversy referred to was begun by Thomas Curtis of Islington. Copies of Curtis' pamphlet The Existing Monopoly . . . and of the rejoinders by Edward Cardwell of Oxford and Thomas Turton of Cambridge, with other articles dealing with the subject, are preserved in this Library. Another copy. 1132. 1833. The Holy Bible. . . in the common version; with amendments of the language; by Noah Webster, LL.D. Hezekiah Howe and Co., for Durrie and Peck, etc., New Haven, U. S. A. 1833. 23.5 x 14.5 cm. The American lexicographer, Noah Webster (1758-1843), professes to give a careful revision of King James' version. The alterations affect (1) errors in grammar, (2) obsolete or unseemly words and phrases, and (3) certain mistranslations. To avoid giving offense to any denomination of christians, I have not knowingly made any alteration in the passages of the present version, on which the different denominations rely for the support of their peculiar tenets' (Preface, p. iv). An Introduction gives the 'principal alterations in the language of the common version of the Scriptures, made in this edition, stated and explained.' Pp. xvi, 907. The references, alternative renderings, etc., are printed in a central column. Printed for the B. F. B. S. by J. Smith, Pitt Press: 1133. Cambridge. 1838. 22-5 x 14 cm. Pica 8°.
