To the C U RIO U S.
JOSEPH STANSBUR Y hath just received
a few curious pocket Bibles, containing the
whole of the Old and New Testaments, with notes
explanatory, historical, critical and practical: I hey
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 of the great difficulty that attends
printing a book of this kind on so small 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
Church, in Second-Street, or at William Trickett's,
Stationer, oppofiteßlack-Horfe alley in Front-Street.
