The honoured secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society was well known to most of our readers, for it was through his efforts that doors were opened for the Society in the Particular Baptist communities throughout the country.

Dr. Bullinger was, by common consent, one of the most learned men of his day in the ancient languages of the East—the tongues in which the Bible was first written. His Greek Lexicon established the reputation of its author as a scholar of the highest order, and his contributions to general theological literature are invaluable both to the student in divinity and to the ordinary reader of the Word of God. But his knowledge was by no means confined to philology and theology. A scientist of no small ability, he delighted to find in the study of the work of the Creator of the universe traces everywhere of the same God who inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures of truth; for the same phenomena were discovered by the great student in his minute researches into Holy Writ which also appear in the tabulated results of the investigations of the astronomer, the analyst, the botanist, and the student of harmony. It was thus proved that the very literary structure of the Bible could only be the work of the same Infinite Being who fixed nature’s laws and Who upholds all things by the word of His power.
