Excerpt from A New and Corrected Version of the New Testament, or a Minute Revision, and Professed Translation of the Original Histories, Memoirs, Letters, Prophecies, and Other Productions of the Evangelists and Apostles: To Which Are Subjoined a Few, Generally Brief, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical NotesIt is well known, to those conversant with the history of Biblical translations, that the division of chapters and verses, in all languages, is a dev1ce of comparatively modern days. In this edition, the separate compositions are restored to their ancient form, attended with no subdivisions, except those dictated by the sentiment. Instead of inno vation, therefore, it is thus far founded on primitive example and it is a favorable circumstance, that this original arrangement, contrasted with that of the authorized copy, is more congenial to the polished character and improved taste of the present age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
