"

it is more literally" buying up the opportunity." At ver. 30 "of his flesh and of his bones is omitted; and at vi. 12 "world-rulers" is a new rendering for KooμokрάTоpas. Tyndale has "wordly rulers." Zurich, Froschover, 1550, to which I refer, as in Offor's reprint, London, 1836, and Bagster's Hexapla, there is the reading "worldy."

There is a large collection of old plays, from 1566 downwards, including impressions of Ben Jonson's Every Man out of his Humour and Every Man in his Humour, dated 1600 and 1601 respectively, and the first edition of The Fox, 1607. The only edition of an English poem of special bibliographical importance that calls for description is the first edition of Paradise Lost, seventh title-page (1669).

THE REVISED VERSION OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT.

VI. GALATIANS—HEBREWS.

At Galatians ii. 11 kateуvwσμévos v is by a periphrasis "because he stood condemned." At iii. 13 the aorist preserved in "redeemed," instead of "hath redeemed," indicates the redemption effected once for all. In iv. 17, 18, it is "zealously seek"; and at v. 17 it is "that ye may not do the things that ye would." It is "cannot " in the A.V. At vi. 2, 5, ßápy and popríov are unnecessarily translated by the same word, "burden." At ver. 11 mλíkos ypáμμaσiv, rendered "with how large letters," is indicative of St. Paul's own handwriting; and at ver. 10 oikeίovs TS TiσTews is translated the household of faith,” no notice being taken of the article, a remark which is also applicable to the words "before faith came," as in the text at iii. 23.

66

At Ephesians ii. 2, 7, αἰῶνα and αἰῶσιν being differently translated, the contrast between the present and future is weakened. At iii. 15 râoa Tarpiά becomes "every family" in the text, with every fatherhood" in the margin, answering to "each fatherhood" of the Wycliffe-Purvey version. At v. 16, as at Col. iv. 5, ayopatóμevoι Tòv Kapóv is "redeeming the time" in the text, which is both suggestive of an impossibility and prejudicial to the sense of kapóv; in the margin

At Colossians i. 15 πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως is translated "the firstborn of all creation"; at ii. 23 the sense of the revised translation, "but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh," is plainer than that of the A.V. In iii. 1, as throughout the passage 1-4, the past tense is preserved in reference to the events of the Christian life ensuing upon the resurrection of the Lord. At iv. 9 Onesimus is "the faithful and beloved brother," which is more correct than "a brother."

At

At l'Thessalonians i. 10 τὸν ῥυόμενον is rightly translated "which delivereth us," intimating the continual deliverance, not "delivered us." iv. 6 év т@ прáyμатι is "in the matter"; at ver. 8 the reading Sidóvra, "giveth," represents the continual gift of the Holy Spirit, replacing "hath given"; at ver. 15 "precede" is adopted instead of "prevent," but " prevent" has a locus standi from its use in the Prayer Book in the same sense. In v. 22 it is "every form of evil" in the text instead of "all appearance," which is removed to the margin. At 2 Thessalonians ii. 7, 8, it is "lawlessness" and "lawless" as the translation of ἀνομία and ἄνομος; and at ver. 11 τῷ ψεύδει is a lie," which is less exact than "the lie," as 66 falserepresenting the lie of the apostasy, or hood as expressing lying in the abstract.

In the revision of the two epistles to Timothy the attention which has been paid to the presence of the article is very noticeable. We find "the good warfare," 1 Timothy i. 18; "the eternal life" and "the good confession," vi. 12; the good fight" and "the course," 2 Timothy iv. 7, with "the crown of righteousness," ver. 8, and "the glory," ver. 18. At 1 Timothy ii. 15 there is "the childbearing" in the text, with "her childbearing' in the margin; and the position of the article

is "the worshipper." In the difficult passage ix. 15-20 Stańkη is first translated " covenant," but this is changed to "testament" at ver. 16. The proper sense of xwpis appears in the rendering "apart from sin," instead of "without sin," ver. 28. At x. 7 it is "the roll" instead of "the volume" "of the book"; and in ver. 27 for upòs λos there is "fierceness of fire," resembling the "rage of fire" in the Rhemish version. At x. 34 it is bonds," by which an argument for the Pauline authorship of the epistle is taken away. The substitution of the word "faith" for "believe" at the close of chap. x. shows the connexion with chap. xi., which the rendering in the A.V. does not. At xi. 8 the words ὑπήκουσεν ἐξελθεῖν are translated "obeyed to go out," a rendering which came in with the Wycliffe-Purvey version, and was continued in Tyndale's and others to the Bishops' Bible and the Rhemish. The rendering in ver. 19, "from whence he did also in a parable receive him back," however correct in point of construing, is less rhythmical in sound than is "from whence also he received him in a figure" in the A.V. At xiii. 4 the imperative form of the sentence is adopted in the rendering "Let marriage be had in honour among all," as it is throughout the passage. At ver. 24 domácopal is translated, as in a variety of passages, "salute," but it is "greet" at xi. 13. Uniformity is found preserved in the translation of the two passages, in the Wycliffe-Purvey version by the use of "to greet," and in Tyndale's and other versions by that of "to salute." ED. MARSHALL, F.S.A.

with the subject is indicated in the altered rendering "supposing that godliness is a way of gain," Toρtoμos, vi. 5. At 1 Tim. iii. 16 the reading os is accepted, and it is "He who was manifested," with a notice of other readings in the margin. At v. 12 there is "condemnation" for "damnation "; | and at vi. 9 the subjective force of aïtives, as expressive of character, is shown in the translation "such as," not merely "which," as in the A.V. At 2 Timothy ii. 25 and iii. 7 eis eniyvwowy" them that were in bonds" instead of " me in my aλnelas is "to the knowledge of the truth," with no recognition of the special sense of riyvwois (see II., 6th S. iii. 443). At iii. 16 there is "every scripture inspired of God is also profitable" in the text; in iv. 14 a difficulty which has been felt is obviated by the reading ἀποδώσει, “ will render.” In Titus i. 5" as I gave thee charge" removes the ambiguity of the A.V. as I had appointed thee." At iii. 10 aipeTikóv is "heretical," not "an heretic." In Philemon vv. 19, 21, the epistolary aorist is represented in "I write" for the A.V. "I wrote." It may be noticed once for all that in the Epistle to the Hebrews the A.V. has very frequently a past tense where there is the present tense in the original, as in the passage ix. 6-9. This deserves attention, as it affects the question of the time when the epistle was written. The correction is made in the revised translation; but it will not be required to notice it in every instance. At i. 1 the rendering of Toλvμep@s is "by divers portions," instead of "at sundry times"; at ver. 3 dravyaσua is translated "effulgence," and róστασις "substance" in "the very image of his substance." A marginal note might have mentioned the alternative translation 66 person for Tóσraσis, considering the early date of this interpretation of the word. At ver. 13 it is emphatically "the footstool of thy feet," as it is in the Rhemish version. In ii. 1 the translation of παραρρυῶμεν is corrected to “ we drift away from them," from "we let them slip"; and at ver. 16 émiλaußávoμal is to "take hold" in "not of angels doth he take hold," according to the use of the term in the historical books, as at St. Matthew xiv. 31, and in 1 Timothy vi. 12, 19. At iv. 8 the name of "Joshua" is inserted in the text for 'Inoous, and oaßßariouós at ver. 9 is "sabbath rest." At vi. 11 πληροφορία τῆς ἐλπίδος is rendered "fulness of hope," as there is also "fulness of faith" at x. 22. But it is "full assurance of understanding" at Colossians ii. 2, and "much at 1 Thess. i. 5. There seems no

assurance

"

sufficient reason for varying in these instances the

translation of the same word.

In vii. 3 dyeveaλóyntos is rendered "without genealogy," instead of "without descent"; this is also the Rhemish translation, as it previously was of the Wycliffe - Purvey; at ver. 28 viós is translated " a Son," being without the article, but it is "his Son" in i. 2. At ix. 9 ò λarpevwv

SHAW THE LIFEGUARDSMAN. The story of Shaw's daring exploits at Waterloo readers of is well enough known to most "N. & Q.," but the fact is that, being also a before the public, his prowess was allowed to noted pugilist, whose name was continually eclipse that of other men belonging to the Life Guards who were his equals in daring, and, although performing prodigies of valour, were forgotten partially obliterated by time. To be a Lifeguardssoon after the excitement of the battle had been to be fought hand to hand, but to be a bruiser man was indeed something when Frenchmen had was something more. At all events, the following notes are worth recording; they are in the handwriting of Benjamin Haydon, the celebrated painter, and are attached to some of his lifesketches lately acquired by the Print Room of

the British Museum :

Haydon must have known the men well, having employed them as models both before and after the short campaign of 1815; and by the very fact of speaking of Shaw as one "who equally distinguished himself," he indicates that there were other men in the two regiments who, by their comrades at least, were thought very highly of for their bravery.

rounded by the nameless dead of his own religious ful in woodland and pastoral scenery, and surpersuasion, that the founder of a great state in the New World lies buried. Plain and unpretending as his grave is, recording only his name and year of death, it must ever remain an object of interest to the English lover of freedom all over the world. It is the simple memorial of a great man-great most of all in his stand for freedom, his heritage by birth and his unsurrendered privilege through life. Among many noble qualities this love of liberty stood out the foremost, and it is indeed a pertinent question whether those who in the Old and the New World have inherited the benefits of his lifelong struggle might not do something to redeem the appearance of his last resting-place, and so bring it more into consonance with that feeling of regard we all of us have, in a greater or lesser degree, for the distinguished dead and the places where they lie.

A PILGRIMAGE TO JORDANS. The query raised in "N. & Q.," 6th S. i. 117, as to the burial-place of William Penn, and the information subsequently given on pp. 143, 157, and 204, possessed me with a strong desire to visit the place. Accordingly, one charming day last August I determined on putting my desire into execution, In the meeting house is a visitors' book, very and resolved also on visiting Chenies, whose many names in which are those of Americans, Russell mausoleum had been the subject of a descendants, perhaps, some of them, of those descriptive article, a few months previously, in Englishmen who were forced two centuries ago to the pages of the Antiquary, signed with the well-seek in a strange and new world that liberty of known initials E. W. conscience denied them in the land of their birth. Photographs of the graveyard and its surroundings are also sold in the meeting house, which twice a year is used for religious services.

A pilgrimage through pleasant and diversified country brought me to Chenies Mill, where the lovely situation of Chenies can best be appreciated and enjoyed. A further walk across country by Chalfont St. Giles brought me, not without much inquiry, to Jordans. The name was unknown to many of the rustic inhabitants I consulted, who lived, however, as I afterwards found, in close proximity to the place, unmarked on the Ordnance map, so that care was required lest I should, after all, miss the way. A most unpretending approach through the small garden of the farmhouse to which the Quaker meeting-house is attached brought me to the graveyard, as plain and barren as the severest Puritan might wish to see. How great the contrast between this neglected God's acre and that at Chenies, visibly maintained and looked after with such loving and tender care! At Jordans the simplicity strikes you with painful force as something more than simplicity-as studious neglect. The wild and weedy condition of the graveyard, shut out from the road by a high wall, is apt to make you think that the dead are indeed forgotten, or their last resting-places would not be allowed to reproach you thus. Thirty years ago no headstones marked the places where Penn and his family are buried; that reproach has since been removed by a descendant of the great freeman, and, as MR. PINK ("N. & Q.," 6th S. i. 157) states, small headstones now mark the graves of Penn and several of his immediate family and friends, including Elwood, the friend of Milton (see "N. & Q., 6th S. iii. 365). And so it is in

Having bought some visible memento of my visit-a memento, too, of the neglected condition of this historic graveyard-I came away, thinking, as many have thought before, that services however great, and abilities however distinguished, soon become forgotten in the more immediate interests of every-day life, and have their monument not in carved and sculptured stone, but in that which is a nobler memorial carved by themselvesa lasting and beneficial influence on a nation's life and history.

BOOKSELLERS' CATALOGUES.-As a constant reader of catalogues of second-hand books, and as a constant purchaser also, may I make a few suggestions for some general improvements? I have long contemplated, and may some day write, an article on book catalogues, of which I have a very large collection, dealers' catalogues, sale catalogues, &c., including many not only of "rare and curious" books, but many which are remarkably rare and curious in themselves. My present purpose, however, is not historic but suggestive, for there are several little matters which require reform. Being not only a reader of catalogues but a writer on them, correcting their errors and making notes and references, I often find the margins somewhat narrow, and especially towards the back. A good catalogue should have a reasonable space all round its letter-press. If it has many pages the edges
