TO THE MEMORY OF ANNE JANE, MY BELOVED COMPANION ON EARTH FOR THIRTY-SIX YEARS, WHO SYMPATHISED IN ALL MY LABOURS AND SORROWS, AIDING AND STRENGTHENING ME WITH WISE COUNSELS IN ALL STRIVINGS TO FOLLOW CONSCIENCE THROUGH BAD REPORT AS WELL AS GOOD, WHOSE KINDNESS NEVER FAILED, WHOSE LOVE GREW WITH TIME, I DEDICATE THIS VOLUME; THE COMMENCEMENT OF WHICH SHE LIVED TO SEE, AND HASTED AWAY TO BE PERFECTED UNDER HAPPIER INFLUENCES IN THE IMMEDIATE THE order of the books in the Greek edition is that of ancient MSS., viz., Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Epistles of James, Peter, John, Jude, to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Hebrews, Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and the Revelation. Instead of this the usual order has been followed, for the convenience of readers; as it is in the small "Academic " edition, where the text of the eighth is repeated, published in 1873 by Mendelssohn at Leipzig. |
