Excerpt from The Critical Review, Vol. 17: Or, Annals of Literature; Extended and Improved

Many of our readers cannot fail to remember that, eight years ago, Dr. Holmes, - induced by the prevailing opinion, that the means of determining the genuine tenor of the scriptural text would be much enlarged, if the MSS. of the Septuagint version were collated, as those of the Hebrew had been, and the collations published in one view, - undertook to execute the talk, and to that end published his Proposal. The requisites, accordingly, which he judged to be essential, were:

1. That all MSS. known or discoverable at home or abroad, if prior to the invention of printing, should be carefully collated with one printed text; and all particularities in which they differed from it distinctly noted.
