A yet more offensive specimen of this style of translation was supplied by the New Testament published in 1768, by E. Harwood, and entitled, _A literal translation of the New Testament, being an attempt to translate the Sacred Writings with the same Freedom, Spirit, and Elegance with which other English Translations from the Greek Classics have lately been executed_; a work which, however faithfully it may represent the inflated and stilted style which then prevailed, can now be read only with astonishment and disgust. [98] Worsley died before the publication of the volume. It was edited by M. Bradshaw and S. Worsley. [99] In 3 vols., 8vo. A second edition in 2 vols., 8vo., was published in 1795. _Memoirs of Gilbert Wakefield_, vol. i. p. 355; vol. ii. p. 468. [100] The work was intended to form eight vols. 4to.

[105] The Convocation of York declined to take part in the revision, on the ground that in their judgment the time was unfavourable for such a work. [106] Canon Selwyn had persistently advocated the claims of revision, and had brought it before the Notice of the Lower House of Convocation so early as March 1st, 1856. Notice of a renewed motion on the question had been given by him for the meeting of Convocation on February, 1870, and was only withdrawal when superseded by the proposal sent down on February 11th from the Upper House.
