On 7th February (1801) the last sheets of the Bengali New Testament came off the press. Ward, together with Felix Carey, had set the type with Mr. Brunsdon's assistance, when his health allowed. Through sheer hard work, the New Testament had been completed in 9 months. As soon as the first copy was bound, it was placed on the communion table in the Chapel and all the brethren, together with the newly baptised converts, gathered and gave thanks to God for the completion of this important work. It had cost £612 for a print run of 2,000 copies.
