JOSEPH STANSBURY hath just received
a few curious pocket Bibles, containing the
whole of the Old and New Testaments, with notes
explanatory, hiftorieal, critical and practical : They
are considered as a great curiosity, being the final
left and neatest type that a Bible was ever printed
with; the paper is exceeding fine, which reduces it
to a very small size ; they are much valued by good
judges on account ot the great difficulty that attends
print ng a book of this kind on so final! a letter.
It is likewise a very correct edition, which makes
it the more valuable. They seem well calculated
for a companion to the Pulpit for extempore preach
ers, and are on the whole what is seldom to be met
with. Please to apply at his store opposite Christ
