MANY will hear, with deep regret, that severe illness has for the present entirely incapacitated Dr. TREGELLES from completing his critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Early in the present year (1870), whilst in the act of revising the concluding chapters of the Revelation, he was visited by a second and very severe stroke of paralysis; and although his intellect mercifully remains unaffected, his strength is not sufficient to render it safe for him to undertake even the direction of the publication of the completed portion of his work; he has, therefore, delegated that task to other hands.

Four parts of the work have long since been finished, and have been issued to such Subscribers as wished to obtain them by the prepayment of their subscriptions. The fifth part, originally intended to be the last, was to comprise the Epistle to the Hebrews, the two Epistles to Timothy, the Epistle to Titus, the Epistle to Philemon, and the Book of Revelation, with Appendices, containing a collation of the Vatican and Sinaitic manuscripts, and other addenda, as well as prolegomena to be prefixed to the whole volume.
