""The Revisers' English"" is a critical analysis of the Revised Version of the Bible, published in 1881, which aimed to update and improve the language of the King James Version. Written by George Washington Moon, a British writer and editor, the book provides a detailed examination of the Revised Version's language choices and argues that they violate the laws of the English language. Moon's criticisms cover a wide range of topics, including grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and style. He argues that the Revised Version is unnecessarily complex, obscure, and inconsistent, and that it fails to capture the beauty and clarity of the original King James Version. Despite its focus on the Bible, ""The Revisers' English"" is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of the English language, as it provides a detailed analysis of the language choices made by the revisers and the impact they had on the language as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
