At Prices varying- from 3 s . to 31 s . 6 d . i _ . _ i * i EXTRACTS FROM : OPINIONS . THE ARCHBISHOP OF YOKK : — 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 has never been realised before with the same success that you have attained in the Oxford Bible fob Tbachebs . 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 , an 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 « type is excellent . JVTany clergymen are obliged to write sermons when travelling from place to place . This volume would serve 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 . The explanatory work and the Indices , so far as I have been able ' . of to examine this series them of books , are very , taken carefull a new y done step . for I the am glad promotion that my of the own carefu University l study has of , b the y the Word prepara of God tion . < ¦ That such will be the effect of the publication I cannot doubt / [ THE DEAN OF ROCHESTER : — ' The idea of a series of Bibles in different types , corresponding J page for page with one another , is one which the Dean has long wished to see realised for the sake of those who find the type of their familiar copies no longer available The amount of information \ compressed into the Appendix is wonderful ; and the Dean is glad to hear that the help of such eminent contributors has been available for its compilation .
