Excerpt from The Student's Concordance to the Revised Version, 1881, of the New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: Compiled Upon an Original Plan, Shewing the Changes in All Words Referred To The history of the Bible in Great Britain shows that it has ever been synchronous with the true life and progress of the nation and the national reverence for the very volume itself - charged upon us as Bibliolatry - is an hereditary quality and trait transmitted to us from the generations to whom that volume was at once the symbol and the guarantee, the weapon and the guerdon, of truth and freedom. The 1611 version, representing all its predecessors - and itself consecrated by the usage of nearly three centuries written at a time when the English language was in its most perfect state and vigour, has powerfully influenced the literature and the struggles of the anglo-saxon race, and has thus grown up with that national greatness of which Queen Victoria, on a memorable occasion, wisely and truthfully declared it to be the source.
