The Translators Revived : A Biographical Memoir of the Authors of the English Version of the Holy Bible (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Translators Revived: A Biographical Memoir of the Authors of the English Version of the Holy Bible

The writers to whom the author of this book is most indebted for his biographical materials are Thomas Fuller and Anthony a-wood. The former, the wittiest and one of the most delightful of the old English writ ers, -and the latter one of the most crabbed and cyni cal. What has been obtained from them was gathered wherever it was sprinkled, in scattered morsels, over their numerous and bulky volumes. Beside what was furnished from these sources, numerous fragments have been collected from a wide range of reading, including every thing that seemed to promise any additional matter of information.
