Excerpt from The History of the Printed Greek Text of the New Testament, With the Materials Available for Its Revision Considered: Being a Lecture Delivered at the Hartley Institution, Southampton, Jan, 30th, 1865, With a Supplement Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen, In coming before this assembly on the present occasion, I feel some diffidence on many grounds: there may be accomplished scholars present standing but little in need of information on the subject proposed; others naturally in fear of having their religious convictions shaken by enlarging on a topic apparently affecting a discussion of the grounds of their Christian faith; while a third class of persons may be indifferent to anything which seems abstruse and out of the common way. I have to remark at the outset, that I shall abstain from mere scholastic disquisition, which (were I ever so well qualified in that respect) would be quite out of place in addressing the members of this Institution. My desire is simply to give, in a small compass, useful information on a subject not generally understood, as it seems to me, but which cannot be deemed unimportant.
