Bishop Wilson, Bath, 1785, 3 vols. 4to ; but it labors under the disadvantage just spoken of.
After all. the I .est way of making references would have been by a system like the "folios" of the law- yers. Put a special mark at every hundredth -word, and a corresponding number in the margin, and you ha\ >■ not only a ready means of reference but a guard against changes in the text, and are yet at full liberty to print the matter either as prose or poetry, without distracting the eye or breaking the sense in the slight- est degree. It is, however, too late to do this with our present version. As the next best thing, more Paragraph Bibles should be printed, in all respects like other books, except that the commencement of each verse may be shown by a very small mark in the body of the line, and its number in the margin oppo- site"— Christian Advocate (N. Y.). See Bible.
