The editors of the combination Bible do
! not seem to have overlooked anything that
could reasonably be regarded essential
| to the makeup of such volume
| completes with older editions for the favor
| of those who have much use to make of the
! Scriptures. In this particular production
| the King James version and the revised
| version are on the same page and so
ranged through system of references that
| the volume suffers neither from the disabil-
| ity of small type nor from the other dis
ability of bulkiness. In addition to the bib
lical text there are the standard helps to
! the study of the Bible prepared by eminent
scholars; there is a complete series of
| maps illustrating Holy Land geography
| and the geography of surrounding coun-
| tries; there is a very full concordance with
more than 10000 references and a vast
| quantity of thoroughly reliable Information
| as TO chronology, proper names, botany
| zoology and geology, all pertinent to bihli-
| cal study. SiXty-four pages OF engravinss
present in fac simle authentic documents,
| monuments. pictures and portraits.

| be, but they wrote sufficient to perhaps re-
| pay DR.. Macdonald for the energy expended
in securing the matter of which this book
