But, it seems, you have got possession of a fact which strengthens all your fears: you have been “credibly informed that the British and Foreign Bible Society are at this time preparing an edition of the Holy Scriptures in the Welsh language, in which such liberties are taken in the translation as are by no means warrantable.” You are right in saying you give this “merely as a _report_;” however, I cannot help suspecting that, where the Bible Society, or any of its _officers_, are likely to suffer by it, you have no particular objection to publishing what are “merely _reports_.” Others before you have charged upon the Society the nefarious crime of taking “unwarrantable liberties with the _translation_” and they had just as good authority for saying so as you have. The fact is, that _the original informer_ never imputed to the Society the guilt of altering the _translation_, but the _orthography_ of the text; and he, it must be observed, had never seen any portion of the corrected copy. But before your pamphlet left the press—perhaps before it went there; the parties, to whom the information had been originally conveyed, were in possession of another sort of _report_—a Report from the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society; in which the corrections that had occasioned this alarm, were shown to have been made (whether right or wrong, _judicent periti_), upon a collation of the orthographical variations, in the several _authorized editions only_. However, the question between the parties is in a train of arbitration, under the direction of the syndics of the Cambridge University-press; _who_, and _not the Committee of the Bible Society_, are to be the printers of the Welsh impression.
