An the year 1791, a Society was formed in London, the professed design of which was to promote religious knowledge and the practice of virtue by the distribution of books. Of this Society, from its first origin, it has always been a principal object to publish an Improved Version of the Holy Scriptures, and particularly of the New Testament. With this view, a deputation of the Society was commissioned about twelve years ago to wait upon the late pious and learned Gilbert Wakefield, to request his permission to repubhsh and to circulate his new and accurate Translation of tlie New Testament at the expense of the Society ;to which that gentleman most readily expressed his assent, and at the same time promised to revise his translation with great care, and to give it to the Society in its most perfect state. It appeared, however, in the sequel, that the engagement, into which he had entered with his bookseller upon the publication of his second edition, precluded him from fulfilling his promise to the Society till that edition was disposed of. In the mean time those unfortunate events took place, which are but too well known to the public ;and, to the great and irreparable loss of religion and literature, the life of that eminent scholar was closed in the midst of its career. After the decease of !M r. Wakefield, it being found impracticable to make use of his Translation, the design for some time lay dormant, till it was resumed by another Society in the West of England, which was formed upon the same principles with tiie Society in London. This effort proved abortive in consequence of tlie sudden and much lamented removal of that active, zealous, and persevering advocate of pure and uncorrupted Christianity, the late reverend and learned Timothy Kenrick of Exeter.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of his CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Versions of the Bible - NEW ADVENT Versions of the Bible.
