It's very easy to use Google and search for vintage Bibles and topics like "why were 14 books removed from the Bible?" You can also search the NYTimes archives, which has a lot of articles on religion from that time period (1860s-1890s). You can read them for free in a PDF format.

There's a ton of info on Westcott & Hort so you can Google them at your pleasure. It will keep you busy for at least a month.

You can build your own research program off of these sources if you are really interested.
Thanks. I read the first article. (BTW, it would have sufficed, but thanks for the other links.)
Sorry for doubting your claims. (I simply thought you got the dates mixed up--that's why I asked you for a citation.) It's certainly something worth taking a closer look at.
Why is this not more widely-known? I'm certainly going to look into this further.
On a side note, this has been quite the "learning" thread for me today. I've had two incorrect assumptions corrected. I'd say I'm getting my money's worth.
