A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. 1: For the Use of Biblical Students (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. 1: For the Use of Biblical Students

But it was not till I had laboured with absolute loyalty for some months that I discovered from my own Observation, and from the advice of some of the first textual critics, how much alteration must at once be made.
