The present book is an attempt to answer a request, which has been made from time to time, to place in a simple form, for the use of general readers, the substance of the author's “History of the Canon of the New Testament.” An elaborate and comprehensive Introduction is followed by chapters on the Bible of the Apostolic Age; on the Growth of the New Testament; the Apostolic Fathers; the Age of the Apologists; the First Christian Bible; the Bible Proscribed and Restored; the Age of Jerome and Augustine; the Bible of the Middle Ages in the West and in the East, and in the ''Sixteenth Century. Two Appendices on the History of the Old Testament'' Canon before the Christian Era, and on the Contents of the most ancient ''MSS. of the Christian Bible, complete the volume. “We would recommend'' every one who loves and studies the Bible to read and ponder this exquisite ''little book. Mr. Westcott's account of the ‘Canon’ is true history in its'' highest sense.” —.
