THE REVISED BuBLE.

The Forms in Which 1t VIII Be Issued
in This Country and By Whom.
NEW YORK, May 20.-The Revised Bible
will be issued both by Harpers and by
Thomas Nelson & Sons tomorrow. The
Harpers will have only one style; it will
correspond with their edition of the New
Testament, VIII be in plea type and in
four octave volumes. With the New
| Testament the entire work will make five
volumes, the binding will be in brown
cloth with red edges, and the four volumes
of the Old Testament will be sold for
$40. The Harpers received advance
sheets from the Revision Committee.
Mr.. Monroe, the manager of Harper's Pub
fishing Department, said it was impOssi-
bic to change the original programme,
and that the publication by the news
papers of certain extracts had no effect;
it was more essential to stick rigidly to
the prearranged date of publication IN
this country than it was in England, for
the reason that in England the book was
the property of the universities and was
copyrighted. It did not matter what pOr-
tions of it were given out there prior to act
ual publication, for no one could take adj
vantage Of the early publication. In this
country the copyright would not hold.
Mr.. Monroe said there was much less in
terest in the issue OF the Old than the
New Testament.
The cheapest revised Bible will be 81,
whereas the cheapest revised Testament
was Is cents.
The Nelson copy of the complete Bible
which they sell for 81 will be in pearl
type. Their royal octave edition, in
Turkey morocco boards, five volumes,
plea type and gilt edges, will sell for
$52 80. There are to be in all six editions
and twenty-three styles of binding.
