THE LATE 8. P. TREGELLES, LL.D. 387 
and in October of the same year he made his first journey to visit 
the great libraries of the Continent for the purpose of collating 
the various MSS., and a vast quantity of material was obtained. 
In subsequent years similar journeys were undertaken. 
In June, 1844, he published the ‘‘Greek Text of the Book of 
Revelation from Ancient Authorities;”? and in 1848 a smaller 
edition of the English translation only. 
In 1850 the University of St. Andrew did itself honour by 
conferring on Mr. Tregelles its highest degree, LL.D. 
In 1851 he printed a little book entitled “The Jansenists,” a 
chapter in Church history, the result of a visit paid, in September, 
1850, to Utrecht. Several other works ¥ollowed from the pen of 
the diligent man of letters, who had now become famous, and 
whose ripe scholarship was acknowledged both in Europe and 
America. For the student he prepared “ Heads of Hebrew Grammar;” 
and in 1852 ‘‘ Hebrew Reading Lessons.”’ In the same year (1852), 
he published three other works, ‘‘A Defence of the Authenticity of 
the Book of Daniel,” ‘‘ Historic Evidence of the Authorship and 
Transmission of the Books of the New Testament,” and ‘‘ Remarks 
on the Prophetic Visions in the Book of Daniel;” and also edited 
‘‘Prisoners of Hope,’’ a little book referring to the imprisonment of 
Francesco and Rosa Madiai. Soon followed ‘‘ An Account of the 
Printed Text of the Greek New Testament ;” and in 1856 he assisted 
in the production of the new edition of Horne’s ‘‘ Introduction to the 
Holy Scriptures.” The year 1857 saw the publication of the first 
part of Tregelles’ great work, “The Greek Testament,” containing the 
gospels of SS. Matthew and Mark. His labours were now almost 
entirely concentrated upon this; and with the exception of the 
‘‘Codex Zacynthius” and the ‘‘Codex Muratorianus, printed at the 
Clarendon Press in 1868, he afterwards published nothing of 
importance. 
In 1862 a Civil List pension of £100 per annum was granted 
him, to which another £100 was added in 1870. He laboured 
diligently to complete the book which had*so long engrossed his 
time and thoughts; and in 1872, after upwards of thirty years’ 
incessant toil, he finished the last chapter of the Book of Revela- 
tion, and with it his life’s work. The close study and anxiety 
caused by the conscientious way in which he had pursued his 
useful labours had had its effect upon his health. He was stricken 
with paralysis, his busy pen fell from his hand, and the literary
