' * It is still rhore surprising that * ' Les Pasteurs et les Professetirs de 1 * Eglise et de PAcaddmie de Genfeve " should , after the further discussions of a century , have sanctioned this forgery , in their " Nouveau Testament' * now
before me , in the edition h Londres , 1803 , reprinted from the Geneva edition , 1802 . This is the more extraordinary , as they profess , in a prefatory advertisement , to have availed themselves of MSS ., justly
remarking that " h mesure que le texte original a e * * mieux connu par la comparaison des variantes — les traductions sont devenues plus eorrectes . " They render the conclusions of the 7 th and 8 th verses exactly according to the translation of Charenton in
1668 . It is well known that the earliest printed editions of the Greek Testament entirely omit the heavenly witnesses . Such is the case with one in my possession , printed at Strasburg , 44 Argentorati , apud Vuolfium
Cepha-Jaeum , Anno 1524 ; " described by Dr . Harwood , in his View , ( ed . 2 , p . 120 , ) as " a very curious edition . ** The printer , TFoljius Chcphalceus , in a short Latin preface , acknowledges his obligations to his relation , Fabritius Capito ( an account of whom
forms the first article in Sandius ) : " Fabritii Capitonis consanguinei mei turn industria turn consilio opitulantibus . " A former , and as may be conjectured from the appearance of the
writing , a very early possessor of this Greek Testament , has written , where he missed the heavenly witnesses , to whom , probably , he had been familiarized by the Latin Vulgate , " hie desiderata verba quaedam . "

English Editions of the Bibte . WRITER in the Monthly Maga-A zine for the present October makes some sensible observations upon the variations in the different editions of bur English Bible . He
refers to a pamphlet , printed in 1821 , but not sold , entitlea " The Expediency of Revising the present Authorized Translation of the Holy Bible , considered in a Letter addressed to
the Right Hon . the Earl of Liverpool z" this letter he says is evidently the work of a good Hebrew scholar , and is attributed to an eminent dignitary of the Chinch of England . He makes the following extract from p . 6 , — € s A few alterations were made ,

for chaws , and alien for aliant . But these are matters of trifling importance , though more perhaps than any correetar of the press , or individual , ought to have doUe without authority . In an 8 vo . edition of our authorized Bible , printed at Cambridge , 17 » 3 , in-
