PREFACE.
THIS work is a Third Edition of "The New Testament Newly Translated
*Ind Critically Emphasised," published first in 1872 and then in 1878. The
leading characteristics of the former editions are here preserved :—the rendering
is based on a revised Greek text, is more literal than the Authorized Version or
the Revised, and pays only a measured regard to the theological and ecclesiastical
- terms in common use.
At the Same time the 'book has been so thoroughly remoulded as to be
practically a new work. The Greek text translated is no longer that of Dr. S. P.
Tregelles, which had in part been issued when the Sinai Codex was brought to
light, but the more recent text of Drs. Westcott and Holt; the idiom of the
translation has been a little softened to make it more suitable for social reading;
the notation of Emphasis has been made more comprehensive in grasp, lighter
in touch, and more agreeable to the eye; quotations from the Old Testament,
including 'adapted language as well as formal citation, have been rendered
•conspicuous by the use of italics; the references, especially in the Revelation,
have been augmented; the larger notes have been reconsidered, added to, and
gathered into an appendix ; and, lastly, the text of the translation has been set
forth upon the page in a form designed to assist the eye, and to suggest to the
mind peculiarities of structure in the formation of sentences and paragraphs
which, while unnoticed, obscure the sense, but, when observed, give force and
beauty to the composition.
" ThaEmphasised New Testament" appears as part of a larger design—that
.of "The Emphasised Bible." It is owing to this circumstance that certain
interesting questions of interpretation, formerly dealt with in a preliminary essay,
are now reserved for discussion in the general Expository Introduction which it
is intended to prefix to the whole work. In the meantime, however, it is hoped
that enough will be found in this Preface, in the Explanations which immediately
follow it, and in the Appendix of Notes placed at the end of the volume, to enable
, the sympathetic student at once to use THE EMPHASISED Nnw TESTAMEET with
pleasure and profit. That both the pleasure and the profit will be materially
increased by the completion of his whole design, is the firm persuasion of the
'translator; and it is this hope which encourages him to persevere until, by the
Divine blessing, purpose shall be turned, into achievement.

Note.—When, in the Epistles, the indentations of the typehave been carried as far from the margin
as was convenient, and yet the thought of the Writer invited a still further subordinating of clauses,
a few logical capitals have occasionally been thrown in, suggesting where new linos might be com-
menced in writing out a passage upon an enlarged scale as an aid to exposition. In any case, as
Logical Analysis is necessarily subjective, and appeals to the reader's comprehension and insight,
the student is counselled, pencil in hand, to revise these typographical indications for himself, by
pushing in or drawing out the lines according to his own judgment. On the basis here provided,
nothing could be easier, while the profit would be certainly great. As Dr. Richard Moulton well
observes in his admirable work "The Bible as Literature," it is not so much a question of right or
wrong, as of good, better, and best.
