The New Testament Translated from the Sinaitic Manuscript discovered by Constantine Tischendorf at Mount Sinai. Cincinnati: The Standard Publishing Company, 1918.

The preface gives no information about what sources Anderson used. It is said that the version was prepared by Anderson shortly before his death in 1872.
