Considerable progress has been made in printing the translation of the Bible in the Bengalese language. In September last, 2500 copies of St. Matthew's Gospel, and 2000 of Mark and Luke's, with ten chapters of St. John's Gospel, were finished at the press. As Matthew's Gospel was the first complete account of the life, &c. of Christ, they threw off 500 copies extraordinary of the translation of it, to be dispersed among the Hindoos, until the whole bodiesof the New Testament were ready to be delivered to them. The whole is probably finished by this time. Mr. Carey and the other missionaries were well; and expectations were entertained that the two sons of Mr. C, who speak the language of Bengal with great fluency, would strengthen the mission. |
