A Voice from the Fire, by Robert Wallace 64731 [Subtitle: A Sermon occasioned by the public burning of the Bible at Kingstown, by the Redemptorist Fathers, on the 5th of November, 1855] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/3/64731 ] [Files: 64731-0.txt; 64731-h.htm] For those wishing to know: I'd stumbled on a reference to the "recent Bible burnings" whilst transcribing a Kensington book, so had a look for anything contemporary to give a bit more background. This is a short sermon preached in Dublin where two religious groups were in conflict, one was so provoked as to burn a Bible, only a page of which was rescued from the fire (hence the title). It's mainly the Protestant group saying how terrible the Catholic group were, but it contains a first hand account of it. All the best, David, Overcast but bright England

Biblical Revision, by Edward Slater 64728 [Subtitle: considerations in favour of a revised translation of Holy Scripture] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/2/64728 ] [Files: 64728-0.txt; 64728-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Slater was one of a group of scholars who were suggesting that the traditional English translation of the Bible, the King James, needed an update. This is a scholarly pamphlet (1856) suggesting principles that would need to be considered. It also contains a lot of parrallel passages contrasting the KJV against what he thought would be a better translation. All the best, David, Cold and damp England
