They are opaque , very legible , and very light . *—Bookseller , Christmas 1883 . * The notion of including in one volume all the helps that a clergyman or teacher would be likely to want for the study of the Bible hus never been realised before with the same success that you have attained in the Oxford Bible for Teachers . In the small edition ( ruby 16 mo . thin ) , by the use of paper very skilfully adapted to the purpose , there is a Bible with an . Atlas , a Concordance , and Index , and several Tractates on various points of Biblical antiquity , the whole , in a very solid binding , weighing a pound and " an ounce ; no great weight for what is really a miniature library . The clergy will probably give the preference to the larger book , marked No . 4 . This includes the Apocrypha , with all the helps to the use of the . Bible that distinguish the series . Its typo is excellent . Many clergymen are obliged to write sermons when travelling from place to place . This volume would servo as a small library for that purpose , and not too large for the most moderate portmanteau . I think that this work in some of its forms should be in the hands of every teacher . The Atlas is very clear and well printed .
