Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is the best harmony of the gospels and is one of the easiest
reading harmonies on the market. It also has a commentary with the
text. In most commentaries a fifth or a sixth of the space is taken
up in drawing distinctions between the texts of the four Gospels,
while in this work these distinctions are placed before the
reader's eye, where he can see them for himself at a glance.
Moreover, in other commentaries, which give the text, another sixth
or seventh of the work is taken up in reprinting in the notes that
portion of the text concerning which the commentator wishes to
speak. Our interjected method avoids all this needless repetition,
and makes it possible for us to present the comment with the least
preliminary verbiage or introductory setting. Time is also saved
because the reader does not have to look back and forth from the
text at the top to the comment at the bottom of the page. Again,
other commentaries lose a large amount of space by using the King
James text. Those which preceded the revision waste space
correcting the translation and modernizing its English: those
published since the revision suffer a similar waste by drawing
endless comparisons between the two texts. By choosing the American
revision as the basis for our work, we have a text which needs but
little explanation or apology, and we are thereby enabled to employ
the reader's time and strength to his best advantage.
