suspicious about its results; for through successive revisions our Bible has come to be what it is, as a faithful and popular translation. May the rich and suggestive History that has wreathed itself round our Book of books stir up a profounder thankfulness to the Giver of all good, and may its own truths live in the hearts of all who read it!
I tender my best thanks to my friend the Rev. William Young, Parkhead, for looking over the sheets, and especially for compiling the accurate and complete Index.
