Footnotes:

{6} The following Resolution was passed unanimously by the Upper House
of the Convocation of Canterbury on Feb. 10, 1899, after the presentation
of the Report of the Committee (well worthy of being read) by the Bishop
of Rochester. The Report is numbered 329, and, with other Reports of
Convocation, is sold by the National Society:--

"That in the opinion of this House the use of the Revised Version at
the lectern in the public service of the Church, where this is
desired by clergy and people, is not open to any well-founded
objection, and will tend to promote a more intelligent knowledge of
Holy Scripture."

{10a} Among others may be named the _Edinburgh Review_ for 1855 on
Paragraph Bibles, in which it was said that it was now high time for
another revision (p. 429); the _Christian Remembrancer_ for 1856 on the
Revision of the Authorised Version (an interesting article); the
_Quarterly Review_ for 1863, intimating that as yet we were not ripe for
any authorised text or translation; the _Edinburgh Review_ for 1865; and
the _Contemporary Review_ for 1868, a careful and elaborate article,
contending that the work must be done by a Commission.

{10b} In February, 1856, when Canon Selwyn gave notice of proposing a
petition on the subject to the Upper House. The proposal in a somewhat
different form a year afterwards was disposed of by a characteristic
amendment of Archdeacon Denison.

{10c} On July 22, 1856, Mr. Heywood, one of the members, I think, for
North Lancashire, in rather an interesting speech, moved for an Address
to the Crown to issue a Royal Commission on the subject. The motion was
rejected, Sir George Grey expressing his conviction that the feeling of
the country was not in accordance with the motion.

{12} Preface to the Revision of the Authorised Version of the Gospel
according to St. John by Five Clergymen, p. xii. As I remark afterwards,
this preface proved to be very attractive, and by its moderation greatly
helped the cause. The book has long since gone out of print, but if any
reader of this note should come across it, this preface will be found
well worth reading, as it will show what was in the minds of many beside
the Five Clergymen five and forty years ago.
