The reader will observe in the above paragraph that, in addition to a better distribution of the letter-press, we have given the _spoken language_ in italics, with inverted commas,—a character of type we recommend to be carried out continuously in the revised version, as it, actually is with excellent effect, in the new Paragraph Bible. These may be thought small matters, but we have been led to mention them as thinking the adoption of them will give facility, not merely to the private, but also to the _vivâ voce_ reading of Scripture,—a point surely not undeserving of attention. Connected with these desiderata are others of a minor character, as—an improved punctuation—the substitution of vernacular for obsolete words—the use of _euphemisms_ where the allusion is obvious, and no violence is done to the sense—appropriate concise headings to the different sections in the margin—_chronological arrangement of the several books_—chronological data, &c. &c. We are proceeding beyond the strict limits we assigned to ourselves in the course of these last remarks, and scarcely venture further in recommending attention—though especially worthy of it, in the case of a Book we wish to make universally attractive,—to what may be called the _æsthetics_ of _book-making_. We all know the advantage of a readable type, open space between the lines, paragraphs and smaller divisions clearly indicated, large margin, &c.; and though, in comparison with our main object, these are small matters, they yet constitute distinct items in the Roll of convenience, and therefore merit attention—especially in subserviency to the object of giving to the Bible the adjuncts appropriate to a HOUSEHOLD BOOK.
