John William Burgon was possibly the chief detractor of the work of the Revised Version of the Bible in the 1880s. Burgon disagreed with a number of decisions that were made, especially of the translators not following the rules laid out for them. Frederic G. Kenyon's story of The Revised Version (1881-1895), though sympathetic, acknowledges the same thing. The Dean Burgon Society has printed four book by Burgon. Also books by Burgon are available electronically on Google Books at the links below.
