Charles Leach's Our Bible: How We Got It was first published by Fleming H. Revell Company in 1898. The electronic version has been produced from the reprinting Our Bible: I. How We Get It by Rev. Charles Leach, D. D.; II. Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible Is the Word of God by R. A. Torrey (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, n. d.), Colportage Library No. 64.

      In the printed text, footnotes are indicated by printer's devices (asterisks and daggers); in the electronic text, they are treated as sequentially numbered endnotes. Pagination in the electronic version has been represented by placing the page number in brackets following the last complete word on the printed page. Inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography have been retained; however, corrections for misspellings and other accidental corruptions have been offered. Emendations are as follows:
