From the New Englander and Yale. Volume 40, Issue 163, Page 832.

The New Testament as the early Christians had it in the fourth century.*—By an ingenious arrangement of different type, Mr. Leigh has contrived to present in an English translation the variations of the three manuscripts mentioned on the title page from the received text inserted in the text of the English version of 1611. After a few minutes of attention to the significance of the different kinds of type, the reader can read either of the four texts continuously, or can pause and compare the four as they lie in the text before his eye. This volume will enable English readers to compare these four texts. In the second volume and in the second edition of the Gospels Mr. Leigh proposes to add the Revised Version in parallel columns.

* The Sinai and Comparative New Testament. The authorized English version; with introduction, and various readings from the three most celebrated manuscripts of the original Greek text, by Constantine Tischendorf, with the various readings so inserted in the text that the whole scripture according to either the Sinai, Vati­can, Alexandrian, or the received text can be read by itself, while all the variations are compared with facility; by Edwin Leigh. Vol. 1. The four Gospels. New York: Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., 753 and 155 Broadway; 188]. 153 pages.
