VINDICATION OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY: IN A LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE REV. DR. WORDSWORTH, CHIEFLY IN REPLY TO HIS LETTER TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE BY WILLIAM DEALTRY, M.A. F.R.S. EXAMINING CHAPLAIN TO THE LORD BISHOP OF BRISTOL; AND FELLOW OF "If, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish persons at home or abroad, who Epistle dedicatory to King James, prefixed to the Bible. SECOND EDITION. LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. HATCHARD, BOOKSELLER TO HER MAJESTY, OPPOSITE ALBANY, PICCADILLY. ADVERTISEMENT. THE alterations which have been made in the present edition, are chiefly of a verbal nature: some pages, however, have been added, some have been cancelled, and several transferred to the Appendix. A mistake, which occurred in page 49 of the former impression, has been corrected. The application for Bibles, stated to have been made by a Welsh Bishop in 1790, was in fact made by an English Bishop in 1800: the argument remains the same. It was intimated (p. 21) that the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge had passed a second resolution about their edition of the Welsh Bible; this also I now believe to be an error, and the passage is erased. have Should any expressions of harshness escaped me in the first edition, I hope that they are all expunged. Upon this subject, it is probable that different persons will entertain different opinions; I have acted according to the decision of my own judgment. Hertford, March 8, 1811. W. DEALTRY. |
