Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Bible, According to the Authorized Version 1611, Vol. 1: With an Explanatory and Critical Commentary and a Revision of the Translation, by Bishops and Other Clergy of the Anglican Church The list of contributors to the Speaker's Commentary on the New Testament, selected by the Committee at the commencement of the work, has necessarily undergone a few changes, owing to the death or altered position of some among them. In this first volume the introduction to the three Synoptical Gospels has been written, as was originally contemplated, by the Archbishop of York. Dean Mansel, who had undertaken the commentary on the first two Gospels, died in July, 1871, but left complete notes on twenty-six chapters of St. Matthew. Those notes are printed without any alteration or addition, except a few references to works which have since been published, and the headings to the sections, which, in accordance with the general plan of the Commentary, have been inserted by the Editor. The Editor is solely responsible for the notes on the last two chapters of St. Matthew, and on the whole of St. Mark's Gospel. The Bishop of St. David's prepared his commentary on St. Luke some years ago, but owing to the pressure of episcopal duties was unable to prepare it for the press. The Editor has had to complete and revise this portion of the work, for which in its present state he is ultimately responsible. In the following volumes the only changes which have hitherto been made are the substitution of Professor Westctott for the late Dean Alford, as commentator on St. John's Gospel; of the Bishop of Derry for the late Dean Jeremie, and the present Bishop of Truro, who had undertaken the commentary on the Epistles to the Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, and Philemon; and of Professor Lightfoot and the Rev. J. Rawson Lumby for the Editor, to whom the commentary on the Epistles of St. Peter and St. Jude was originally assigned.
