CHAPTER V
2/5
In the year following, Mr.Temple was bereaved of his excellent wife and of two children, and at the invitation of the Prudential Committee he visited the United States.
Meanwhile the presence of Messrs.
Bird, Goodell, Smith, and Hallock kept the press in operation.
Mr.Temple returned in 1830.
The establishment consisted of three presses, with fonts of type in English, Italian, Modern Greek, Greco-Turkish, Armenian, Armeno-Turkish, and Arabic, but the greater part of the printing was in the Italian, the Modern Greek, and Armeno-Turkish.
The most important work was the translation of the New Testament in the Armeno-Turkish, which was printed at the expense of the British and Foreign Bible Society.
