Extract from Preface to the First
Edition.

There are two modes of translation which may be adopted in rendering into our own language the writings of an ancient writer. The one is, to bring him before us in such a manner as that we may regard him as our own; the other, to transport ourselves, on the contrary, over to him, adopting his situation, modes of speaking, thinking, acting, peculiarities of race, air, gestures, voice, etc. Each of these plans has its advantages. All attempts to make Moses or Paul act

...

or speak or reason as if they were Englishmen of the
nineteenth century must inevitably tend to change the
translator into a paraphrast or a commentator-charac-
ters which, however useful, stand altogether apart from
that of him who, with a work before him in one lan-
guage secks only to transfer it into another.

IN THIS GREAT WORK, ARRANGED FOR POP-

No Hebrew, Greek, or other Foreign words are

enough for the most learned. It is just the work every

"The following translation of the New Testament is based upon the belief that every word of the original is 'God-breathed,' as the Apostle Paul says in his Second It is the work to read at family worship, for it gives Epistle to Timothy, chap. 3. 16. This inspi- both the Bible text and meaning and exhortation on ration extends only to the original text. as it came the same page. It is just the work for the Sundayfrom the pens of the writers, not to any transla-school Teacher and the Preacher, for it is all commentions ever made by man, however aged, venerable or taries in one, bringing all Biblical scholarship down t good; and only in so far as any of these adhere to the to-day. original-neither adding to nor omitting from it one particle-are they of any real value, for, to the extent that they vary from the original, the doctrine of verbal inspiration is lost, so far as that version is concerned.

"A strictly literal rendering may not be so pleasant to the ear as one where the apparent sense is chiefly aimed at, yet it is not euphony but truth that ought to be sought in such a version as the one commonly in use in this country. there are scarcely two consecutive verses where there is not some departure from the original."

Compiled and written by Rev. A. K. FAUSSET, M. A., joint author of Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown's critical and explanatory Bible Commentary. Illustrated by 600 engravings. One vol. royal octavo, cloth, 750 pp., price $5.00, tranportation free.

This volume contains 3,700 articles; and presents a completeness and conciseness, such as should be found in a Bible Cyclopedia. It is invaluable to Students and Teachers of all denominations.

Its exhaustive article on Creation, or on Isaiah, or on the Pentateuch, is alone worth the price of the volume. It contains, also, the results of the admirable work done by explorers, showing how, in an age prone to skepticism, God has given remarkable confirmations of the truth of His own Word in raising men who have been enabled to decipher the hieroglyphics of Egypt, the cuneiform inscriptions of Babylon and Assyria, and the archaic characters of the Moabite stone. Ephesus

with its Temple to the great Diana, Midian and its mines, Rome and its catacombs, have all contributed their quota of witnesses to the truth,

J. W. BASHFORD, D.D., President of the Ohio Wesleyan University, writes:

"It is a most admirable aid. I hope ten thousand teachers will use it inside the next six months." T. DE WITT TALMAGE, D.D., says:

"It is in advance of all books in that line."

In this work the Business Man has in a nutshell the
best that has ever been said about any text, thus
avoiding the loss of time of searching for a grain of NEWELL WOOLSEY WELLS, D.D., of Brooklyn,

wheat in bushels of chaff. The reader who masters
this single work will be abreast of current Biblical
comment and discussion. It is the "book of books,'
for it contains the whole of the Bible, and the essence
of all that has ever been thought about it.

Christian at Work: "The most scholarly and the most readable of all commentaries." Pres. S. C. Bartlett, D.D.: "Characterized by great fulness and discrimination of thought." C. H. Parkhurst, D.D.: "Thorough, unique, invaluable." Charles H. Hall, D.D.: "It shows immense labor, singularly cool judgment and a refined, sanctified

Mark Hopkins: "The more familiar the acquaintance, the more highly it will be valued." Austin Phelps, D.D.: “This work contains the best thinking of the best minds of the ages." Theo. L. Cuyler, D.D.: "It is a nutritious and delightful work for popular reading." George W. Cable: "As a layman and a student of the English Bible, I find it an extremely valuable help to its study." Way" land Hoyt, D.D.: "It is a book of the communion of saints; full of light and full of help."

English readers of the word of God are indeed under a great obligation to Dr. Young for thus furnishing them with a weapon by which, in consequence of this translation being according to the letter and idiom of the original language, they are enabled effectually to refute many of the most subtle infidel objections, which would really have no existence were it not for the fact that in our authorized version the rendering is not only sometimes vague, but also positively misleading. We, therefore, most heartily commend this work to the notice of evangelists. Christian evidence lecturers, city missionaries, and laymen generally, as by its possession they will have placed in their hands a golden key to open that which to them (in consequence of a nonacquaintance of Hebrew and Greek) had, to a certain extent, been a sealed book. This being essentially a critical age we consider this version meets a felt uced, and we regard it as providential that in these last times the Lord should have raised up one who, by giving to We offer the following special prices as the English reader this translation, together with the Analytical Concordance, has placed him, so far as the inducements for formation of Clubs in Congrestudy of the Bible is concerned, on a level with those who have been favored with the advantage of Univer-sations, by Sunday-school Teachers, members of sity training."

"Not a few of the arguments usually brought by infidel authors against some of the leading doctrines of our most holy faith are at once answered simply by the correct rendering of the Hebrew phrases."-Rev. Adam Stuart Muir, D.D.

"A translation of the Scriptures would be of invaluable use, that would be an exact counterpart of the Hebrew. In a word, causing the Scriptures to present to the English reader not only the same general meaning, but even the same minute shades of thought and feeling which they present to those familiar with the original tongues, Mr. Young's translation seems to be admirably adapted to meet this want."-Rev. W. G. Blaikie, D.D.

writes:

"The Bible Cyclopedia' of the Rev. A. R. Fausset is accurate, disclosing, as it does, a thorough acquaintunce with the result of the latest investigations in all departments of Biblical research. It is compact, presenting in few words the sum and substance of what may be found in more elaborate Dictionaries and Cyclopedias. It is comprehensive, embracing in its treatment many subjects either just touched upon, or left altogether unnoticed in the majority of works having a similar aim."

Rev. D. W. C. HUNTINGTON, Bradford, Pa., writes:

"I have spent some time in an examination of the 'Bible Cyclopedia,' plying it with various and hard questions, and I am delighted with its ready and thorough responses. Its adaptation to the use of all classes of Bible students should give it an immensc circulation."

J. T. GRACEY, D.D., of Rochester, N. Y., writes:

Fausset's Bible Cyclopedia,' and, further, the great "I have had the pleasure of a careful examination of help it affords in working with it' on lines of investigation, which test the accuracy and comprehensiveness of a work of this kind, and I find it not only eminently satisfactory, but admirable in so many qualities that it would be tedious to name them. It is full, fresh, and

reliable."

Rev. F. N. LUSON, La Grange, Ill., writes:
"It is a masterly production. It is worth its price
ten times over."

would be taught."-Episcopal Register.
