The revision of the Canonical Scriptures projected (18471851) by the American Bible Society was a more ambitious enterprise ... A Committee of seven ... Edward Robinson ... James W. McLain, superintended his comparison of a standard American Bible witch recent copies published in London, Oxford, Cambridge,. and Edinburgh, as also with the book of 1611 (Scrivener, The Authorized Edition, page 36).

Having collated its six texts (and without considering that its four modern texts might be Blayneys and three close representations of his work), the Committee treated this unscholarly sample in a still more unscholarly way, that is, it treated them democratically. The rule it adopted for variations in punctuation, that the uniform usage of any three of the copies shall be followed (Norton, A Textual History, page 121).

the work was rejected the very next year (1852) ... on the ground of alleged want of constitutional authority, and popular dissatisfaction with a number of the changes made (Scrivener, page 37).

A new edition was brought out in 1860. There are numerous alterations in both the editions, such as aught to ought, clift to cleft, intreat to entreat, lien to lain, utter court to outer court, etc. These are the types of things found in Scrivener, Norton, the NKJV and counterfeit KJBs.

Ruckman quoted the report produced by these American revisers in Differences in the King James Version Editions. Furthermore, Ruckman wrote, In taking the six main copies of the AV (1611, 1613, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1769, and 1850) that result in a purified Book. Since Ruckmans view was that any King James Edition is valid, he certainly accepted the so-called Standard Edition as produced by the American Bible Society. It appears that he took there to be six main copies of the AV, and implied that the seventh edition in the list was the present standard, that is, that the Standard Edition was really the present standard of the AV At this writing [in 1989] it is the Standard Edition. Octavo Reference Bible of 1852, as established by ... Edward Robinson. Problems in Ruckmans list of main copies is that he does not mention the major revisions of 1629 and especially 1638. He mentions 1644, which he claims to be John Cannes edition, though John Cannes edition actually appeared in 1664, and followed the 1638 edition text, adding only many new marginal references. The most notable Bible of 1644 was a poorly printed imitation from Amsterdam, which was suppressed by Parliament during the English Civil Wars: such texts followed the 1638 edition. Scrivener does not mention any KJB being printed in London in 1644. As for 1701, that text as revised by Bishop Lloyd never gained any popular ascendancy, as it was marred by type errors from the outset. Finally, the 1850s revision has no place in the line of purification of King James Bibles, and is an edition as bad as Websters, Scriveners, KJ21, MKJV or Nortons.

No American made translation of the Bible has ever been the standard. No American edited edition of the KJB has ever been the standard. All standard English Bibles have been made in Europe. All standard editions of the KJB have been made in England. Even the presentation of the Pure Cambridge Edition first came from England. It secondly came from Scotland. Although it should be followed in America. (Even the Bible Protector website which has brought out the knowledge of the Pure Cambridge Edition is not American.)
