"The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels" by John William Burgon is a detailed study that looks at how the original text of the Gospels changed over time. The work is a follow-up to Burgon's previous book and gets into why the Gospels have mistakes and differences in them. It aims to find the reasons behind these changes, arguing that it's important to protect the traditional Gospel stories as they were originally written. The book starts with a preface by Edward Miller, who put Burgon's writings together after he died; it talks about the reactions to Burgon's last book and gets ready for Burgon's main argument which says that the first copies of the Gospels had mistakes because of accidents and because people changed them on purpose to fit their beliefs, and readers should understand the historical importance of the traditional texts and prepares readers for learning about what caused these changes and errors in the Gospels.
