[page 285, column 1, continued:]

The Apochryphal New Testament, containing all the Gospels, Epistles, and other pieces, not inducted in the New Testament, by its compilers. Translated and now first collected into one volume. New York. Published by H. G. Daggers, 30 Ann st.

THE importance of this publication to all Bible students may be inferred from the following passage in the translator's preface to the second English edition.

“By some persons of the multitude commonly known by the name of christians, and who profess to suppose they do God service by calling themselves so, the editor has been assailed with a malignity and fury that would have graced the age of Elizabeth and Mary.”

The volume is handsomely printed on good paper in a shape uniform with the ordinary editions of the genuine New Testament.
