                   FAMILY BIBLE

               Without Abridgement,
     Under the Revision and Care of the

            Rev. George BURDER
Secretary to the Missionary Society; - and the
       Rev. Joseph HUGHES, A. M.
One of the Secretary'e to the British and Foreign
                 Bible Society;

To which is added, the Life of the Author, by the
Rev. Samuel PALMER, of Hackney, and many
useful Tables and Plates. The Whole work may
be bought at one time, or subscribers may, at
their option, begin either with the Old or New
Testament. A few copies on Royal Paper, fine
ink, &c. in Boards, price 12s. each part.

Mr. HENRY has written other Highly Excellent
Works, which are collected into one handsome
volume, and printed uniformly into the Family
Bible; the   Whole   forming   a   most   valuable
Evangelical Library. Those who already possess
the Commentary, may pruchase the other Works
separately.

The Labours of the Rev. George BURDER, and
the Rev. Joseph HUGHES,   M. A. have been
chiefly employed in examining the refrences to
Scripture;   translating   the Quotations from the
learned   Languages; arranging   the paragraphs,
and   all figured divisions, in a more conspicious
Manner;    expressing    in    the    headline    the
substance of the Page; and, where practicable,
the Chronology; adjusting the Orthography and
Punctuation to the modern standard; occasionally
rectifying grammatical Inproprieties; and useful.

   These improvements are peculiar to this edition.

       Printed for Samuel BAGSTER, Strand,
London; and sold by every respectful Bookseller
         in England and North Britain.
