CHAPTER I.. General Corruption.

General Corruption.

Sec. 1. Modern re-editing--difference between the New Testament and other books--immense number of copies--ordinary causes of error--Doctrinal causes. Sec. 2. Elimination of weakly attested readings--nature of inquiry. Sec. 3. Smaller blemishes in MSS. unimportant except when constant. Sec. 4. Most mistakes arose from inadvertency: many from unfortunate design. pp. 10-23
