 LIPPINCOTT'S EDITION OF 



BAGSTER'S COMPREHENSIVE BIBLE. 



In order to develope the peculiar nature of the Comprehensive Bible, it will only be necessary 

 to embrace its more prominent features. 



1st. The SACRED TEXT is that of the Authorized Version, and is printed from the edition cor- 

 rected and improved by Dr. Blaney, which, from its accuracy, is considered the standard edition. 



2d. The VARIOUS READINGS are faithfully printed from the edition of Dr. Blaney, inclusive 

 of the translation of the proper names, without the addition or diminution of one. 



3d. In the CHRONOLOGY, great care has been taken to fix the date of the particular transao 

 tions, which has seldom been done with any degree of exactness in any former edition of the Bible. 



4th. The NOTES are exclusively philological and explanatory, and are not tinctured with senti- 

 ments of any sect or party. They are selected from the most eminent Biblical critics and com- 

 mentators. 



It is hoped that this edition of the Holy Bible will be found to contain the essence of Biblical 

 research and criticism, that lies dispersed through an immense number of volumes. 



Such is the nature and design of this edition of the Sacred Volume, which, from the various 

 objects it embraces, the freedom of its pages from all sectarian peculiarities, and the beauty, plain- 

 ness, and correctness of the typography, that it cannot fail of proving acceptable and useful to 

 Christians of every denomination. 



In addition to the usual references to parallel passages, which are quite full and numerous, the 

 Btudent has all the marginal readings, together with a rich selection of Philological, Critical, Histo- 

 rical, Geographical, and ether valuable notes and remarks, which explain and illustrate the sacred 

 text. Besides the general introduction, containing valuable essays on the genuineness, authenticity, 

 and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, and other topics of interest, there are introductory and con- 

 cluding remarks to each book— a table of the contents of the Bible, by which the different portions 

 are so arranged as to read in an historical order. 



Arranged at the top of each page is the period in which the prominent events of sacred history 

 took place. The calculations are made for the year of the world before and after Christ, Julian 

 Period, the year of the Olympiad, the year of the building of Rome, and other notations of time. 

 At the close is inserted a Chronological Index of the Bible, according to the computation of Arch- 

 bishop Ussher. Also, a full and valuable index of the subjects contained in the Old and New Testa- 

 ments, with a careful analysis and arrangement of texts under their appropriate subjects. 



Mr. Greenfield, the editor of this work, and for some time previous to his death the superintend- 

 ent of the editorial department of the British and Foreign Bible Society, was a most extraordinary 

 man. In editing the Comprehensive Bible, his varied and extensive learning was called into suc- 

 cessful exercise, and appears in happy combination with sincere piety and a sound judgment. The 

 Editor of the Christian Observer, alluding to this work, in an obituary notice of its author, speaks 

 of it as a work of " prodigious labour and research, at once exhibiting his varied talents and pro- 

 found erudition."

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



"In our opinion, the Christian public generally will feel under great obligations to the publishers 

 of this work for the beautiful tasie. arrangement, and delicate neatness with which they have got 

 it out. The intrinsic merit of the Bible recommends itsdf; it needs no tinsel ornament to adorn 

 its sacred pages. In this edition every .superfluous ornament has been avoided, and we have pre- 

 sented us a perfectly chaste specimen of the Bible, without note or comment. It appears to be just 

 what is needed in every family — 'the unsophisticated word of God.' 



"The size is quarto, printed with beautiful type, on white, sized vellum paper.of the finest texture 

 and most beautiful surface. The publishers seem to have been solicitous to make a perfectly 

 unique book, and they have ai lie object very successfully. V\"e trust that a liberal 



community will afford them anfple remuneration for all the expense and outlay they have neccssa- 

 rilv incurred in its publication. It is a standard Bible. 



'"' The publishers are Messrs. Lippineott, Grarnbo &. Co., No. 14 North Fourth street, Philadel- 

 phia." — Baptist Record. 



"A oeautiful quarto edition of the Bible, by L., G. <fc Co. Nothing can exceed the type in clear 

 ness and beauty; the paper is of the finest texture, and the whole execution is exceedingly neat. 

 No illustrations or ornamental type are used. Those who prefer a Bible executed m perfect sim- 

 plicity, yet elegance of style, without adornment, will probably uever find oue more to their tasta " 

 — M. Magarine.
