iv an abridged series of the Writings of the Reformers at a reduced price after the announcement of his: as there was not room for two editions, and as it could not be expected that one individual could compete with the resources and influence of a combination, the present publisher had no alternative but to cease, at least for the present, the prosecution of his series, and to content himself in the best manner he was able with the loss he sustained thereby. The three volumes published contain the Writings of two of the earliest Reformers of the English Church, William Tyndale and John Frith: they are reprinted verbatim from the originals, with some additions, and are unabridged. It was intended to have prefixed, as a first volume, a reprint of Tyndale's Translation of the New Testament, with the various readings of each edition, and space was left for that purpose: but when it was decided to cease the publication of the work, of course, that idea was also abandoned. It is a source of much unpleasantness to the Publisher's mind to cease the work in so limited a form: this is the second publication which, for the same reason, he has been obliged to abandon, and he knows certainly that he has not been the only publisher who has suffered by the afterintrusion of the Religious Tract Society upon their speculations. 18, Paternoster Row, Sept. 5, 1831.
