The Bible. (H. Frowde, 7 Paternoster Row.)—The Oxford Univer- sity
Press has issued a very clearly-printed and strongly-bound reference Bible, in an unusually solid binding, with clasps. It contains both Old and New Testaments, is fitted with very clear and useful maps, and is, nevertheless, a most convenient octavo volume, not too fat to carry about. Its single defect is the usual one, which the paper- makers seem unable to remedy, but which must be remedied before Mr. Frowde's spirited efforts in typography can be sufficiently appre- ciated. The paper is still a little too thin, or rather too transparent, and allows the printing on one side to be seen upon the other. If this could be avoided, we should pronounce this edition—the trade desig- nation of which seems to be the "No. 5 Minion "---the most perfectly convenient we had seen.
