THE BEST PUBLISHED.
"Of all the Teachers' Bibles that we have seen this [ ] us as being the best. In fact, it comes in every respect [close to] the limit of absolute perfection. The binding is sumptuos, [and the] paper as fine as can be made, and the letter-press an invitation [to the] eye.
Of special value is the self-pronouncing feature, [ ] save many needless and embarrassing blunders. The 'help' [ ]  helps. Unlike those in many of the cheap Bibles, they [ ] simply thrown together in hodgepodge fashion, but represent [ ] freshest and ablest work of the foremost modern scholars.
