In the series of " Tudor Translations," edited by W.

E. Henley (David Nutt, 6 vols., .84 10s.), we have The English Bible : Translated out of the Original Tongues by the Commandment of King James I. Vol. I., Genesis to Joshua. The plan has been to print in para- graphs, to distinguish by type between prose and poetry, to print the chapter headings in the margin, to omit the references, and to give the various renderings as foot-notes. The edition followed is the "Great He Bible" (so called from the "he" in Ruth iii. 15). All the italics are printed as roman type. This is a very handsome edition.
