There is an article in the _American Journal of Theology_, 1897, iv. p. 927 ff., entitled _Alexandria and the N.T._, which I have not been able to consult. In attempting to restore the text of the New Testament as nearly as possible to its original form, it is essential to remember that the New Testament, as we have it to-day, is not all of one piece, but consists of twenty-seven separate documents now arranged in five groups, and that every several document and every several group has had its own peculiar history. Of these groups the most complicated, perhaps, is the one with which the New Testament opens—viz. the Gospels. [Sidenote: Gospels.]
