Excerpt from Journal of Biblical Literature, 1909, Vol. 28: Part Two In the following discussion perfect accuracy is not claimed for the statistics. The figures are presented as approximate only, and it has been sought to make only such use of them as their approximate character would justify. It has been attempted to use as evidence only those judgments about the nature of variants (for instance, in deciding whether a partie ular reading should be regarded as a deliberate emendation, or as an error, or as probably the true reading) which would seem likely to commend themselves to any scholar, and to treat doubtful matters as doubtful.
