Remarks on the Rev. S. R. Cattley's Defence of His Edition of Fox's Martyrology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks on the Rev. S. R. Cattley's Defence of His Edition of Fox's Martyrology
This may be corrected; it may or may not be a great improvement on what Fox wrote; I am not criticising it: but if this is to be called a mere reprint, I know not what those words mean. I have no idea that the sentence which I have quoted is more tampered with, and altered, than any other that one might light upon in carelessly opening the book. I believe, that this sort of wan ton ignorant tampering with the text began with the very beginning of the work, and has been carried through it; and that by indulging in this taste for what he thought correction, the editor has often changed the meaning of passages which he did not understand. Of this I have given abundant proof in my Letters, and further evidence will be found in these pages. I do not believe that Mr. Cattley can produce from his first published volume, one single page of Fox's writing of which it can be said, without palpable falsehood, that no typographical alteration has been made in the matter or style of Fox.
