Gy. Test. 1883. Ib will be noticed that the present list contains 37 names, Dr. Schaff’s only 27. There is no real discrepancy. The difference of 10 is made up by including those who were removed by death or resignation during the progress of the work. If they had sat as members, for however short a time, it seemed fair to include them. The losses by death in the OT Company up to 1875, after which year no new names were added to the list, were 7, and by resignation 3. Under the former head come Bishop Thirlwall, Archdeacon Rose, Canon Selwyn, Principal Fairbairn, and Professors M‘Gill, Weir, and Davies. Under the latter, Bp. Wordsworth, Canon Jebb, and Professor Plumptre.
* Dr. Schaft’s list (exclusive of the Secretary, the Rev. John Troutbeck) contains 24 names ; the present one, 28. The dif- ference is accounted for by the presence or absence of the names of Bishop Wilberforce, Dean Alford, and Professor Eadie (removed by death), and of Dean Merivale (resigned).

The two Companies, thus constituted, began their labours in June 1870. On the morning of June 22nd the members of the NT Revision Com- pany met together in Henry vul.’s Chapel, to join in Holy Communion, as the best preparation for the work then to be begun. The OT Company first assembled for business on June 30th. One of the NT Revisers, Dr. Newth, has left us a minute and interesting description * of the mode of pro- cedure observed in the Company to which he be- longed. Much of what he says will apply equally to both Companies; but want of space forbids all but the briefest extracts. The place of meet- ing was the historic Jerusalem Chamber, placed at their disposal by Dean Stanley. Here, on four consecutive days of every month in the year, except August and September, the NT Revisers met. The session lasted from eleven to six, with half an hour’s interval for lunch. The ordinary routine is thus described :—Preliminary matters over, ‘the Chairman invites the Com- pany to proceed with the revision, and reads a short passage as given in the AV. The ques- tion is then asked whether any textual changes are proposed; that is, any readings that ditfer from the Greek text as presented in the edition published by Robert Stephen in 1550. Tf any change is proposed, the evidence for and against is briefly stated, and the proposal considered. The duty of stating this evidence is, by tacit consent, devolved upon two members of the Company, who, from their previous studies, are specially entitled to speak with authority upon such questions—Dr. Scrivener and Dr. Hort. . . . After discussion, the vote of the Company is taken, and the pro- posed reading accepted or rejected.’ The reading being thus settled, questions of rendering followed, and were dealt with in a similar way.
