AN OLD BIBLE.

We have now before us Bible, in small
quarto. bearing the following imprint :
London. Printed by Robert Barker.
Printer to the Kings Most Excellent Ma.
jesty: And by the assigns of John Bill.
1851" 1t is therefore two hundred and
twenty-five years old The title page of
the volume is lost. but the title to the
New Testament reads as follows; 1.-The
New Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Translated out of the Greeke, by Theo-
dore Beza, With brief summaries and
exposltions upon the Hard Places, by the
said Author. Ioac. Gamer, and Lofeter,
VilleriuS, Englished by l.. Thompson
Together with the AnnotationS of FIR.
lunius upon the Revelation of st. John. y
The paper, binding, and printing arc
equal to any of the present day. The
form of the letters and wood cuts-of
which there are large number--are,
however, very inferior.
The greatest differene =. however, be-
tween this old Bible and ~ I'm ones,
is In the spelling g f express

The first part OF - TX is occupied
by the service of the church of England,
and the Psalms, which differ but very
little from those III use at the present
day. Then follows an address s' To the
Christian Reader" and on the next page
is the following poem and prayer:

Of course, as this edition of the Bible
was printed before the translation now in
use was made, it differs from the modern
editions considerably, thuogh the differ
ence is mostly verbal, and not in sub
stance. Many very quaint expressions
are used, which are now discarded. For
instance, it says that Adam and '.Heuah''
"sewed tig-tree leaves together and made
themselves breeches, thereby giving au-
thority to the present woman's rights
