guisiied Orientalists , who were con * sulted , oa the occasion , yto find Professor Lee ' s , at whose suggestion , and that of his colleagues , measures were taken , by which it was hoped that Dr . Henderson ' s objections might be removed . Some leaves were cancelled :
same tables of errata were prepared and adopted . In the mean time , the circulation of Ali Bey's Version was suspended : its merits were still made the subject of investigation by the Sub-Committee ; and , after a long and careful scrutiny , this Turkish Testar meut was again circulated by the
iikstitution . We cannot be astonished that , under such circumstances , Professor Lee comes forward to vindicate a step , which he was so deeply concerned in
advising . Before we met with the " Remarks / ' &c , we had put down a few notes on different parts of Dr . Henderson's €€ Appeal / ' &c .: some of our strictures we shall transcribe .
The author of the " Appeal , " &c , does not distinguish between what is matter of exposition , of interpretation , properly ao called , and what is matter of translation : Rom . x , 13 . In Dr . H . 's opinion , ( p . 41 , ) " the change of to ovoua ,
Kvpis , ' the name of the Lwd , ' to [ in the Turkish Version ] ' the name of God / seems to have been done with the design of annihilating one of the proofs of the divinity of Christ , as also not only the lawfulness but the necessity of addressing divine worship to him "
Now it is neither just nor candid to intimate that the translator had this design , or indeed any design beyond that of rendering the passage with correctness and fidelity . Dr . Henderson would have been better employed in consulting Joel ii . 32 , whence the quotation ( lor such it is ) has been borrowed . He would have found that
the prophet uses the word % lehovah , and that the LXX , from whom , as is most probable * the apostle cites the clause , render this word by the corresponding term kv / He . Neither in the book of JToeL iidr in Rom . x . 13 , is
there a reference to Jesus Christ , to his alleged ^ divinity , or to the worship that DiP . ff . supposes him to claim jE | te vyriter of the Appeal subjoins , *\ The Lord in this vei&e , is unquestionably the Lord tif at $ mentioned

in that preceding . " Thus far we agree with Dr . H . Not so , when fce proceeds to say , " and who He is we read Acts x . 36 . ' * Bi * t the key m this latter text is Acts iL 36 , " God hath
made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified , both Lord aad Christ . " « Fesus is Lord of . am * , af believing Gentiles and believing Jews ; from each of which classes of men converts have
flowed into his church . Other indications and examples of Dr . Henderson ' s propensity to confound translation with exposition , occur in pp * 14 , 29 , 52 , 64 , of his pamphlet . In some of his animadversions on
the teal of the Turkish New Testa * ment he is exceedingly unfortunate . cc Matt * vi . 15 . * Tec ire&pentTaiAciToi vfAGM , your trespasses . " Our author complains of the omission of this
clause in Ali Bey ' s Version > Now Griesbach has annexed to the preceding clause the mark of probable omission : and this he justifies in one of the highly excellent notes contained in his Commentarius Criticus- &c .
We cannot , indeed , blame him for retaining the words in the text of his edition of the Greek Testament : but neither shall we accuse Ali Bey of a want of either judgment or fidelity in rejecting them ; because he might
easily mistake the one clause for the other , and because he has assuredly given the speaker's meaning . Dr . Henderson would have done well in weighing the external and internal evidence on both sides of the question . The Commentarius Criticus is less known
in England than it deserves to be : nor , probably , will our readers be displeased * if we copy the note to which we have referred : ** Vers . 14 et 15 , T « icQc ^ aTrToofActra avrcov S . u / Aotv , in vulgari textu legitur
