Mr. Henry Frowde, of the Oxford University Printing Press, has

sent us an exquisite little Pocket Bible, in flexible russia, on Oxford India paper, containing 1,566 pages in a size of 31 in. long by 24 in. broad, and only seven-eighths of an inch thick. It would almost go into a very loose waistcoat-pocket, and the diamond print, though, of course, certainly small, is wonderfully clear. It is a singularly beautiful bit of printing, and Mr. Frowde states (no doubt quite accurately) that it is the smallest Bible ever printed.
