Indochina -- Description and travel
In an OXFORD BIBLE one is always sure of a good thing. The OXFORD PRESS
has done good service by the issue of these TEACHERS’ BIBLES, with
their full and admirable series of helps. So far as we can see, the new
_fac-simile_ series of Oxford Bibles for Sunday school Teachers is,
all things considered, better suited to the wants of the Sunday School
Teacher than any other series yet offered to the public. In typography,
paper, binding, varied and excellent helps to study, these Bibles are
with the very foremost; and their range of styles and prices gives a
choice to all.
From the “NORTH-WESTERN ADVOCATE.”
OXFORD BIBLES are printed from _standing_ type, _not_ from plates.
The OXFORD PRESS cast their own types, make their own paper from rags
_only_, and bind their books themselves. The manipulation of a genuine
OXFORD BIBLE, both as to paper and binding, will satisfy the most
minute scrutiny. The clearness of the printed page leaves nothing to
be desired. As to the binding, the book _may be doubled flat back, may
be thrown down and even trampled upon, without a leaf starting, or it
may be suspended by a single leaf without sustaining injury_. The back
of the book is so supple it cannot be broken, and in order to take
the book to pieces, the leaves must be torn out separately. The paper
itself possesses a toughness which cannot be surpassed, but the binding
will, for durability, outlast the paper. The information contained in
the Notes, etc., is nearly all new, or rewritten in such a way as to
embrace the greatest amount of knowledge in the smallest compass. The
most eminent scholars and professors of OXFORD UNIVERSITY have been
employed on these articles, and they have been revised by the most
eminent Divines, so as to make the matter as perfect as possible, and
acceptable to _all_.
