The Englishman's Bible
Newberry is most famous for his study Bible. In 1863, he was given a copy of Tischendorf's transcription of the New Testament according to the Codex Sinaiticus, in which he made copious handwritten notes, and two years later commenced work on The Englishman's Study Bible, later more commonly known as the Newberry Study Bible. The finished work, with its unique use of signs and symbols to aid understanding of the tenses, and alternative translations, was much admired by the likes of William Kelly, FF Bruce and CH Raven.

Famous quotes containing the word englishman:
“This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
