This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Talbot Wilson Chambers was born on February 25, 1819 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the son of William C. Chambers, a physician, and of Mary Ege. He was of Irish stock on his father's side and of German on his mother's.
At the age of eleven he entered Dickinson College but transferred at the end of two years to Rutgers so as to study under Dr. Alexander McClelland, formerly of Dickinson, whose vigorous intellect and vivid personality exercised a decisive influence over his pupil. Upon graduating from Rutgers in 1834, he continued to study under McClelland at the New Brunswick Theological Seminary until ill health--he was frail from childhood and subject to pulmonary trouble--compelled him to leave. The year 1836-37 he spent at the Princeton Seminary. This time his course was interrupted by the financial difficulties of his parents, and in order to support himself and a younger brother he tutored in private families in Mississippi from 1837 to 1839.
On October 21, 1838, he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Clinton but, finding himself almost immediately involved in a theological controversy in which his family was on one side and he on the other, he withdrew from the Presbyterian Church and united with the Dutch Reformed, which he had come to know during the years in New Brunswick. From 1840 to 1849 he was pastor of the Second Reformed Church of Raritan, at Somerville. In December 1849 he became one of the ministers of the Collegiate Reformed Church in New York City, which he served till the end of his life. The sudden death of his wife in 1892 visibly weakened his hold on mortality, and he succumbed to pneumonia on February 3, 1896. Although diligent in discharging his pastoral duties, he was chiefly interested in scholarship. He was a good linguist, with a mastery of Hebrew that made him for ten years a member of the Old Testament Company of the American Committee on the Revision of the English Bible, and with a knowledge of numerous other languages that helped him materially as chairman of the committee on versions of the American Bible Society. He was well versed in theology and in church history, and for short periods taught at Union, Lane, Alleghany, Hartford, and New Brunswick Theological Seminaries. In 1863 he was president of the General Synod of the Reformed Church. Although his books are few and unimportant, he was a prolific writer of articles on theological and ecclesiastical topics. In his theology he was a thorough-going conservative, believing unreservedly in the integrity and sufficiency of the Bible as the revelation of God's will, and holding to the doctrines of his church as they were formulated in the early years of the Reformation. Thus cherishing the faith of his fathers, he would have seen no reproach in the fact that he displayed no originality of thought. His conservatism also manifested itself in more personal forms. As a divine of a now vanishing type, able, learned, devout, kind, and generous, he deserved the affection and veneration in which he was held.

During the Somerville years he dabbled surreptitiously in Whig politics, writing political editorials for a local newspaper.
On May 21, 1841, he married Louise Mercer Frelinghuysen, a daughter of Gen. John Frelinghuysen, by whom he had eleven children.
