 PEEFACE. 
 
 A few -words will explain how these two little Glossaries came to be written, and 
 how it is that they now appear together and in their present form. About seven 
 years ago I prepared for the Queen's Printers a small Glossary of the Important 
 Words in the Book of Common Prayer, as an addition to their " Teacher's Prayer 
 Book," edited by Bishop Barry. This Glossary, with considerable corrections and 
 many additions, forms the second part of this book. 
 
 The Bible Glossary, an entirely new work and written on quite a new plan, was 
 intended for the Queen's Printers' " Teacher's Bible." It was found, however, that in 
 some respects it went beyond the ordinary requirements of teachers, and that it 
 exceeded the space which could conveniently be allotted to it. It was therefore 
 determined to print a condensed form of this Glossary for the " Teacher's Bible," and 
 to publish what I had prepared without abridgment separately. It was afterwards 
 thought that it might be useful, as well to the theological as to the philological 
 student, to print with the Bible Glossary a revised edition of the Glossary which had 
 appeared in the " Teacher's Prayer Book." It is hoped that the plan of citing 
 passages from some of the older English versions, with the purpose of showing the 
 antiquity of many of our most familiar and most beautiful Biblical expressions, may 
 commend itself both to the Biblical student and to the student of the history of 
 the English language.

A SELECT GLOSSARY OF BIBLE WORDS. 
 
 By A. L. MAYIIEW, M.A., Chaplain of V'adham College, Oxford. 
 
 The object of this Glossary is to give an account of the more important Words and Phrases in the Bible, 
 including the Apocryphal Books, and especially of those Expressions which are now Obsolete in literary 
 English or which are used in the Bible in senses different from their present. In each article there will be 
 found for the most part, in addition to the Explanation of the Word, exact References to the Text, together 
 with a brief Etymology, and Illustrative Passages. The illustrative passages have been Belected'as far as 
 possible from the earlier English versions of the Bible; the purpose being to indicate the source of the 
 Biblical expression employed by the writers of the Authorised Version. The result is to show how little there 
 is that is really new in King James' Bible. Where the text of the edition of 1611 differs from the text as at 
 present printed the 1611 form is given as well as the present one. The renderings of the Revised Version are 
 nearly always given where they differ from those of the Authorised Version. Frequent references are made 
 to the original Hebrew and Greek texts.

 Expositor:— 
 
 " It does great credit to the editor and publishers that these essays are not mere compilations 
 by unknown hands, but original papers written by scholars acknowledged to be in the front rank 
 of their several departments ... It would be impossible to select scholars more competent 
 ... It would not be easy to match them ; and their work is not only accurate and reliable, but 
 singularly thorough and comprehensive."

THE 
 
 Variorum Teacher's Bible 
 
 [THE BIBLE READER'S VADE-MECUM). 
 
 THIS novel and comprehensive Edition of the Authorised Version — the 
 climax towards which the Qneen's Printers' consistently developed their 
 Series of Teacher's Bibles during five years— combines :— 
 I.— The Queen's Printers' Variorum Eeferexce Bible. 
 II.— The Queen's Printers' "Aids to the Student of the Holy Bible." 
 
 The Variorum Teacher's Bible may be described in few words. It 
 exhibits, on the same page with the Authorised Version and marginal 
 references, a selection of the most important various readings of early 
 manuscripts and authorities, and a collection of the very best alternative 
 renderings of the sacred text, by ancient and modern translators and com- 
 mentators. This information, given in the form of brief footnotes, was 
 brought together and edited by Canons Cheyxe and Driver, Eev. K. L. 
 Clarke, Mr. A. Goodwix, and Eev. Dr. Sanday ; and scholars who have 
 examined the work are unanimous in praising the editors for their good 
 judgment and careful accuracy. 
 
 The Queen's Printers' "Aids," by well-known specialists, are bound up 
 with this Bible, and altogether the book is one which teachers and preachers 
 who love to linger over the Word ought to procure and use constantly. 
 Intelligent Bible readers have now little, if any, excuse for being ignorant 
 of the principal results of critical and philological investigation bearing upon 
 the Scriptures; for this book is a compendium of such information, and 
 answers many other purposes as well. Scholars with large literary resources 
 are glad to have "The Variorum" at hand, and yet no studious person 
 need fear that it is above his understanding. Indeed, it is emphatically a 
 book for plain English readers. 
 
 By the Variorum Teacher's Bible the unlearned reader is supplied with 
 independent explanations of thousands of the changes made by the Eevisers 
 of the English Bible, and thus the book is very instructive as a companion 
 Bible, as well as specially useful in itself.

 INY^LU^BLE TO BIBLE jSTUDEP^. 
 
 fTIHE Publishers have the pleasure to announce the completion of the above 
 book. The issue of this work has been looked forward to with great 
 interest by a large number of the Clergy and Biblical Students, who are unani- 
 mous in their desire for a large type edition of this Bible. 
 
 Attention is drawn to the type of this edition, and also to the explanatory 
 notes, which form one of the principal features of this invaluable book. 
 
 The New Volume has the following special advantages :— 
 
 1. The Type is larger than that of any portable ^Reference Bible hitherto 
 
 published, yet the volume does not exceed \\ inches in thickness. 
 
 2. All the best critical Editions and Translations, including the Eevised Version, 
 
 are, in the Variorum notes, collated to date. 
 
 3. The brief explanatory notes are increased. 
 
 4. The poetical portions of the text are set out as in a Paragraph Bible, while 
 
 the familiar and convenient arrangement of verses is otherwise pre- 
 served. 
 
 Prices from 12/6 to J32 2s. 
 
 " The ' Variorum Bible ' of the Queen's Printers is a speciality and ought to be considered as 
 indispensable to the intelligent English Bible reader, as it most certainly is a useful vade mecum to 
 the scholar. At a glance the result of reverent scholarship in the matter of Bible interpretation 
 may be seen. In this respect it stands without a rival, NOT EVEN THE REVISED VERSION 
 CAN SUPPLY ITS PLACE."

What is THE VARIORUM BIBLE? 
 
 •> , » , » . v i v_^V\ r\/\ f\r\ r\ r\ r 
 
 I. The Text of the Variorum Teacher's Bible is the Authorised Version, printed so 
 
 as to show what passages it has been proposed to alter, either by amending the text 
 from which it was translated or by improving the translation ; 
 
 II. Certain marks show these passages without interfering with the text more than 
 
 the marks which refer to the column of marginal references, with which all are familiar ; 
 these marks refer to very brief notes at the foot of the page, in which are set out such 
 amendments of the text and improvements of the translation as have the support of the 
 best sclwlars and critics. 
 
 III.— It is a scholarly comparison of the King James' Version with all the leading 
 Commentaries, critical editions, and translations of the Bible, together with versions of 
 the Hebrew Text which are far older than the present text itself, as well as the oldest and 
 best manuscripts known to exist in various parts of the world, giving to the student of 
 Scripture an amount of information which could only be obtained by the possession of a 
 costly Library ; thus within the compass of a portable volume is comprised the quint- 
 essence of Biblical criticism and scholarship in the simplest possible form. 
 
 IV. — It was designed and published in advance of the Westminster Bevision, and in 
 consequence, the Editors of the Old Testament, Drs. Cheyne and Driver, were invited 
 to join the Company of Kevisers. Some of the most distinguished members of that 
 Committee of Kevisers have testified to its unique value and to the great assistance 
 in the work of the Revision derived from its use. 
 
 V. — It preserves the form and contents of an ordinary Reference Bible, but brings into 
 juxtaposition with the Authorised Version (in foot-notes) such materials for its revision 
 as have been put forth down to the present time by the really best authorities. 
 
 VI. — The Variorum foot-notes summarise for the reader unacquainted with the 
 Hebrew or Greek languages the surest results of Hebrew and Greek textual criticism and 
 scholarship, and discriminate for him the degree of authority attaching to each; the 
 alternative translation thus suggested will often render note or comment needless. The 
 special or professional student of the original texts will find in this conspectus a more 
 careful selection of critical data and authorities (especially in the Old Testament) than 
 is elsewhere accessible. 
 
 VII. — The Variorum Readings are given where there seems reason to correct the 
 text used by the translators of the Authorised Version. The Variorum Renderings are 
 given where the Authorised Version is thought to translate the text imperfectly. If a 
 general agreement of the greatest scholars exists in favour of a change, the new Trans- 
 lation appears in a foot-note simply ; but if such a general agreement cannot be alleged, 
 the names of the advocates of the change are appended in each case. 
 
 VIII. — The names of the distinguished Editors sufficiently guarantee the excellence 
 of the work. The selected sources from which its annotations are taken comprise in the 
 Old Testament, 73 Commentators, 11 Versions; New Testament, 69 Commentators 
 (15 Ancient and 54 Modern), 6 Versions (2 Latin, 2 Syriac, and 2 Egyptian), 33 Ancient 
 Manuscripts, 9 Critical Editions of the text.

 IX. — In short, the Variorum Bible practically exhibits a Revised Version upon the 
 same page with the Authorised Version, while possessing the further advantage that 
 the Authorised Version is revised, yet left untouched. 
 
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY 
 
 AND 
 
 THE* VARIORUM $B 
 
 The Aecubishop said at the late Canterbury Diocesan Conference: — "I should like 
 to fulfil a request made to me to call the attention of the Convocation to the New Edition 
 of the Variorum Reference Bible, published by Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode. The 
 whole book has been revised. It was laid, I may say, before the Lambeth Conference — 
 the promise of it — and now it is nearly finished. The old edition forms the basis of the 
 new edition ; it is printed in larger type ; and every passage which has been disputed by 
 great scholars as to its correct translation or rendering is marked by a figure before and 
 after the sentence or word, these figures connecting the footnotes, which give the alternate 
 renderings or readings, together with the authorities for the same, abbreviated to save 
 space. The collection of these notes from sixty-nine Commentators for the Old Testament, 
 and seventy-three for the New, has occupied many years close study and preparation. 
 The new edition will, when it is published, be of the size shown by the dummy edition 
 I have here. The new edition is much simplified as compared with the old one, and you 
 may like to know that the opinion of Canon Westcott is that it is^ much t he best edition 
 of the kind that has appeared. It is so useful that no apology is, I am sure, needed for 
 mentioning it." 
 
 An Example of the Value of the VARIORUM BIBLE. 
 
 (From the " Church Review.") 
 
 THE VARIORUM AND THE REVISED VERSIONS OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. 
 
 Sib, — The manifold efforts, happily unsuccessful, made to force the Revised Version 
 upon the Church of England, and thus displace the far more beautiful and rhythmical 
 Authorised Version, have suggested much inquiry into the alleged superiority of the 
 former. The well-known result, upsetting this asserted advantage, needs now no com- 
 ment. It is claimed for the Revised Version that it best represents the latest Hebrew and 
 Greek scholarship. But is this so absolutely ? Now, all such requirements are met in 
 Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode's scholarly Variorum Version, without the grievous and 
 very numerous defects of the Revised. It is helpful where the latter fails us. Take a 
 crucial example — viz., Malachi ii. 15, " Yet had he the residue of the spirit." What does 
 this mean ? We look in vain to the Revised Version for light. It entirely fails us. On 
 the other hand the Variorum Bible exactly explains what otherwise would prove a hope- 
 less difficulty— viz., " No one hath done this who hath a remnant of understanding (lit., 
 spirit — c. f. note in loco.") 
 
 I venture, with all diffidence, to claim for the Variorum Version the highest place in 
 scholarship and critical value of any edition yet published of Holy Scripture in the 
 English tongue. FREDERICK A. H. VINON.

 The Eight Rev. ALFRED BARRY, D.D., 
 
 Assistant Bishop in Diocese of Bochester, 
 Late Bishop of Sydney, and Metropolitan Primate of Australia and Tasmania ; 
 
 AND 
 
 By the Rev. A. L. Mayhew, M.A. 
 
 This forms the New Edition of the " Teacher's Pbayer Book," now so 
 well known, and is the only work of the kind published in a popular form 
 at popular prices. It is issued in two sizes, and in various bindings. 
 
 In the arrangement of the work the most simple plan has been adopted, 
 the Prayer Book and its explanation being interpaged throughout ; and the 
 name of Dr. Barry as Editor will make it of such standard value as to 
 entitle it to rank as a companion volume to our " Teacher's Bibles," which 
 possess such world-wide reputation. 
 
 The work was so highly appreciated that it passed through several 
 Editions in a few months after its publication.

 THE COMMENTAEY IN LONG PRIMER TYPE. 
 
 IN response to many enquiries and requests, Messrs. Eyre and 
 Spottiswoode have pleasure in offering an Edition of the above in 
 Large Type, which they feel confident will meet with unanimous 
 approval. 
 
 The Publishers have included the Introduction to the Psalter, the 
 main purpose of which — as prefatory to the special annotations on each 
 Psalm — is to examine the general character, style, and structure of the 
 Psalter, especially in relation to its use in the service of the Church in 
 all ages. 
 
 Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode desire to tender their thanks for the 
 generous support accorded to the Teacher's Prayer Book, and trust the 
 Psalter will be equally appreciated.
