THE 'ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE, in one ele-
gant volume, small folio, comprising also " A COM-
PLETE CONCORDANCE of the OLD and NEW
TESTAMENTS," is strongly recommended as decidedly
most appropriate and best adapted as a present to a new
married couple ; as a token of remembrance to a distant
friend, or on birth days or other occasions ; as testified by
the following extracts from a considerable list of critical
notices :
Copy of a letter from the Rev. Dr. RAFFLES.
Edge-hill, February, 1839.
" Gentlemen,—l am exceedingly obliged to you for having
afforded me a sight of the elegant volumes you sent for my
inspection. Your edition of the Bible, in the beauty of its
typography, and the taste displayed in its decorations, is
certainly unique; and I trust that many will be induced to
make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful
in its ornaments, the medium of expressing their regard for
those relations and friends to whom they desire to present
some token of their esteem.
" ram, Gentlemen, yours very truly,
" THOMAS RAFFLES.
" Messrs. Fisher, Son, and Co., London.
" This is an age of wonders as it respects the efforts of the
Press. Never was the art of printing so well understood as
it is in the present day. ' The illustrated Family Bible' is a
striking proof of the truth of these remarks. As a specimen
of typography it will be regarded by the best judges as unri-
valled in taste and beauty ; and in economy to the public it
is no less remarkable. With pictorial illustrations, eminent
for their skill and adaptation, a Commentary long established
in the public confidence, and a Concordance written on a new
and improved principle, it is offered to families at an incon-
ceivably moderate sum. As a present to a newly-married
couple, just entering on the responsibilities of domestic life,
it may prove the means of extensive good to generations yet
unborn."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1839.
*** The ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE is also pub-
lished in TWENTY PARTS, at 2s. 6d. large, or Is. 6d.
