From the introduction - "The wonder is that on sheer merit for 350 years [the Authorised Version] should have continued to be for countless thousands of the faithful, the Bible, Hundreds of translators, expressing dissatisfaction with this or that, feature, have tried their hands during these centuries at improving on it. But the Authorised Version has outlived them all. It has moved out from narrow confines of this Isle to the far distant places of the world, and wherever English is spoken it remains today a monumental classic of the English tongue, It is right that, the 350thAnniversary of its appearance should be worthily celebrated, and in the pages that, follow the reader will find illustrative information about the various exhibits drawn from our Library shelves which try to tell in their own way something of this wonderful story."
