Monthly Review, June 1796.
Of Mr. Wakefield's qualifications for the important task which he has here undertaken, his various writings may enable the Public, in fome measure, to form a judgment. That he poffeffes a competent knowledge of the ancient languages (the first requifite in a tranflator of the New
Teftament)
Teftament) will not be questioned by thofe who have read his Silvs Critica, and his Commentary on St. Matthew; and the principles of biblical translation which Mr. W. lays down, he appears to us to have very diligently, and in the main, very successfully followed.
To the work is added Notes, chiefly intended to justify the variations of the prefent from the commonly received verfion; these notes, as ufual, abound with proofs of the Author's learning and ingenuity, &c. &c." Monthly Review, July 1792.
