[This imperfect Bible is one of the very numerous series of editions of
the Genevan or Puritan version, commonly called the Breeches Bible. It
is not a 4to. but a pot folio, having six leaves to the sheet or
signature, "Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker,
printer to the Queen's most excellent Maiestie, Anno Dom. 1595. _Cum
privilegio._" Our correspondent's copy wants the title and preface
(three leaves), six leaves of Genesis, the title to the N. Testament,
and at the end eleven leaves, including the two tables. The translation
may be identified by the last word of 1 Cor. vi. 9., or by 1 Tim. i.
10. There is another edition by the same printer, and of similar size,
in the year 1602; but the title to the second part has "conteineth,"
instead of "conteining."]
