The first edition of the version known as King James's to which however Sir William Alexander, afterwards earl of Sterling is chiefly responsible.

There is another edition which contains these engravings and which has the prose version of the Psalms in the margin. Huth says that one was printed in London 1625-6 but other authorities give the date as 1631. It is uncertain which is the first edition. The preference should probably be given to the present edition as being the less elaborate the idea of presenting the prose with the verse would be an after thought.[-See also Chew., Grolier.]
