_Breeches Bible_ (Vol. iii., p 17.).--The first edition of this Bible is
now before me. The title-page and portions of the addresses to Queen
Elizabeth and to the reader are unfortunately {94} wanting, as is also the
first leaf of Genesis. But the title of the New Testament as follows:--
"The Newe Testament of ovr Lord Jesus Christ [***] Conferred diligently
with the Greke, and best approued translacions in divers languages. At
Geneva: Printed by Rouland Hull. M.D.LX."
There is a woodcut of the Egyptians pursuing the Israelites on the shore of
the Red Sea, surrounded with texts from scripture. It is a small quarto in
Roman type, and divided into verses.
