To the Evitor & the "Nontu-Cuisa Dairy News! pears in your to-day's issue, telis the romantic story of George Bor-'Manchu translation of the New Testament. The story is well re-told, but there is a rather mis-ading suggestion that the two rphan_ volumes" in the library of the British and Foreign Bible Society were in danger of being thrown on the serap-heap or swept away by "some over-realous coolie on rampage with his duster", The Wbrary volumes in the Bible House are carefully catalogued, and preserved in beok: cases behind glass Jdoors. Also, copies of every known. version of the Scriptures are kept in the famous library of the Bible House in London. Thus there has [been no likelihood of the irretrievlable lors which is suggested in your article.
It mid be added that the very which George Eorrew found! buried in mud on the floor of. a cellar in St, Petersburg, from which the New Testament was printed, is now stored in the strong-room of the Bible House in Hongkong Road. Tam, ete W. Suerrano.
