The Brooches Bible.

One Of the books which biblioma-
MAC handles reverently Is the famous
Geneva Bible. better known rs the
"Breeches Bible" This name is due
to the rendering OF Genesis i'll. Z.
where Adam and Eve are said to have
"sewed fg tree leaves together and
made themselves breeches." This had
been the reading Of the first English
Bible. Wycliffe's version. but later
translators had substituted the word
apron" for "breeches." and the Gene
va Bible reverted to the original. The
fact that only one edition of the Gene
va version contained this sentence
makes the limited number more pre-
cious to the book gaiherer. The title
page Of this edition announces that ii
was imprinted ut London by the dep
uties Of the queene's most excellent
majestic in 1899. The first edition
appeared In 1850. and for sixty years
this was the favorite Bible with the
people, who reluctantly laid 1t aside
for the AUTHORIZED version In 1911.
