PREFACE.
JLHE increafing demand for the Holy Scriptures in our own country, nofwithffanding the
lingular and combined efforts of infidels to defray their credit and influence, is afacl which muff greatly
comfort and encourage the hearts of the friends of Chriffianity. Befde many thoufands of Biblesy
the
of the feveral flzes, which are annually imported, many large editions have been printed andfold in the
United States within the laff twelve years. This call for the Bible induced the Editor to undertake
the quarto edition of it, which he now offers to the public. He is not difpofed to magnify or eulogize
his own labours. It, is obvioufy an expenfve undertaking. He leaves it to the patrons of Ajnerican
literature to judge of the comparative merits of his edition, of the neatnefs and accuracy of its execution
and hopes, that in thefe rejpecls, they willfind it inferior to none of the American editions, which have
preceded it. Iff-, he is fur e ofpublic patronage. He will only fay, he has moff affiduonfly endeavoured
to deferve it.
