I do not know of a publication of the preface alone. Geddes McGregor,
_Literary History of the Bible_ contains the full text of the preface. I'm
not sure that that book is still in print. F.F. Bruce,_History of the
English Bible_ has sections of the preface but not the complete text.
I've been very busy the last two weeks, hardly time to read the posts.
I've enjoyed the discussions. Hope to join in more soon.
Grace,
