 Rep Joseph Emerson, Author of tue Eramgslical Prinser-' Six editions of this great work have been published in this county.-I have had considerable opportunity to examine and compare specimens of all these six editions and decidedly of opinion, that most people would greatly prefer ARMSTRONG'S EDITION, now publishing in Boston. As the fold is octave, he volumes are not nearly so large as the quarto editons but the paper finer and whiter the execution handsomer the print to appearance nearly as large; and it can be turned to the light with much less Inconvenience, it may perhaps he read with equal ease and pleasure. It has the advantage of be- ing cheaper, less cumbersome, and more elegant.
 "ARMSTRONG'S EDITION, therefore, is the one which can most highly recommend for the use of families. It is peculiarly calculated to supersede the use of large Bible and in two respects it will answer better purpose merely for reading the scrip lures, as 1t is less cumbersome, and may be read by several persons at the same time."
