This translation of the Septuagint was originally published by Samuel Bagster and Sons in 1844. The 1844 edition contains the English text only and does not include the Apocrypha. In 1879, an edition with the Greek text in a parallel column was published (available at www.archive.org). Also, a separate translation of the Apocrypha was produced (also with a parallel Greek text) and published with Brenton's translation. The Zondervan reprint is of a later edition with the parallel Greek text and Apocrypha.
