NOTES.

THE BREECHES, OR GENEVA BIBLE.


Of this, the most popular edition of the Scriptures
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, we meet
continually with erroneous opinions of its rarity,
and also of its value, which the following brief
statement may tend in a degree to correct.

The translation was undertaken by certain reformers
who fled to Geneva during the reign of
Queen Mary; and is attributed to W. Whittingham,
Anthony Gilby, Miles Coverdale, Thomas
Sampson, Christopher Goodman, Thomas Cole,
John Knox, John Bodleigh, and John Pullain;
but Mr. Anderson, in his _History of the English
Bible_, says that the translators were Whittingham,
Gilby, and Sampson: and from the facts stated, he
is, no doubt, correct.
