Beauty has suffered in recent centuries through the legitimate effort to disseminate the Bible by bringing the price within the range of the common purse. Hasty editions have been issued on paper which after a span of years crumbles at the touch, & the only merit of the type has been conventional legibility. The medieval manuscript Bibles were artistic masterpieces. So also was the Gutenberg Bible, since the type imitated the written script even to the point of retaining the now needless abbreviations, & the paper was of a quality which after 500 years suffers only from worm holes. The material of this present edition lacks the ingredients tasty for worms. The setting of the type is directed not to the achievement of rigid regularity in length of line & column, but rather to the rounding out of sentences & phrases, so that the eye readily perceives & the voice readily conveys the meaning. The total layout of the page is immensely pleasing. The format can be recommended for pulpit use, because it is legible at normal reading distance. The original edition was too costly for the widow's mte. The present Oxford edition makes possible use for private devotions. -Roland H.
