London: Printed for the British and Foreign Bible Society, instituted in 1804, from the last corrected Edition of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, 1821." Demy 12mo.

Crown 12mo.

Both of these appear to be a reprint of that of 1813, only they do not contain the contents on the head of the chapters, or the rules for reading the Gaelic, and are paged at the bottom. The impression was 10,000 copies of each edition. The demy cost 1s. 7d. bound in calf, and contained 448 pages; the crown cost ls. bound in calf, and contained 293 pages: it is often to be met with bound with the Old Testament of 1823, and was printed by B. Bensley, Bolt Court, Fleet Street, London.

"TIOMNADH NUADH AR TIGHEARNA agus ar Slanuighir Iosa Criosd, eadar theangaichte o'n Ghreugais chum Gaelic Albannaich. London: Printed for the British and Foreign Bible Society, instituted in the year 1804, from the last corrected Edition of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, and Sold to Subscribers only, at the Society's House, Earl Street, Blackfriars, London. 1821." 8vo. Bourgeois Type. Pica Type.

The above appear to be reprints from the Edinburgh edition of 1821, only they do not contain the rules for reading the Gaelic, and are paged at the bottom instead of the top. The number of pages in the first is 268, and

often to be found with the 8vo. Old Testament of 1821; the second occupies 529 pages: they were both printed by B. Bensley. Of the Bourgeois there were 15,000 copies printed; it cost 1s. 2d. bound in sheep, and was sold to non-subscribers at 1s. 9d. Of the Pica copy 5000 were printed; it cost, bound in sheep, 2s. 4d. and was sold to non-subscribers at 3s. 8d.

"TIOMNADH NUADH AR TIGHEARNA agus ar Slanuighir Iosa Criosd.

Eadar-theangaichte o'n Ghreugais chum Gaelic Albannaich." "Edinburgh: Printed for the British and Foreign Bible Society, instituted in the year 1804-1825."

12mo.

Printed by D. Stevenson, and is the clearest and largest type on the 12mo. size; the number of pages are 448. It contains the contents on the top of each chapter,

"TIOMNADH NUADH AR TIGHEARN agus ar Slanuighir Iosa Criosd, air a tharruing o'n Ghreugais chum Gaelic Albannaich; agus air a chur a mach le h-ughdarras ardsheanaidh Eaglais na h-Alba, air iarrtus agus costus na cuideachd, urramaich a ta chum eolas Crios-daidh a sgaoileadh air feadh Gaeltachd agus Eileana na h-Alba. Duneidin: Clodh-bhuailte le Donncha Stionsan. 1826." 8vo.

The above was printed at the same time with the Quarto Bible, and with the same types; but as the lines of the 4to. and 8vo. are of different lengths, it must, in the language of printers, have been overrun, and the contents, dates, &c. taken away; and although it does not mention

so on the title page, yet contains the new version of the Psalms, Paraphrases, and Hymns. The number of pages is 537, and of the Psalms, &c. 108. The Testament is of a large type, the Psalms, &c. of a smaller one. It contains two pages of marks and abbreviations, used in the various readings, at the bottom of the page. The published price was 4s. 6d. in boards.

Edinburgh: Printed by Anderson and Bryce; for the Edinburgh Bible Society; by permission, from the Quarto Edition of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge. 1827." 24mo.

The above is considerably thinner than its English cotemporary, and contains 260 pages of pure text, not a reading, note, comment, contents, or any thing else, admitted; and from the Report stitched with the Edinburgh Christian Instructor, April 1828, we learn the price was

с

as follows, in quires: cost price, 44d.; reduced price, 3d. The Gaelic Psalms and Paraphrases were soon after published, and are generally found bound with it. The eighty-second page was cancelled after it was printed, and the last word of the seventh line was altered from mothaichear to faicear. The impression consisted of 10,000 copies, including 7,500 which were bound up with the Old Testament.
