A giant Bible has been bound by the Oxford University Press for the Bible crusade of Horbury Hall,.Notting Hall Gate, London, West. When standing on end the volume is over five feet two inches high, and nearly three feet six inches wide. The width of the back is ten inches, so that when the book is opened flat lit measures about seven feet ten | inches across. It is bound in rich red Levant morocco leather of the best quality; 12 large goatskins having been used for the binding. The front cover is surrounded by the arms of the counties of England and Scotland inlaid in blue morocco leather and decorated in gold; while on the back of the book are displayed the arms of the Welsh counties similarly treated. In the center of the front cover is a panel of royal blue morocco leather, containing the royal arms inlaid with the heraldic colors. The book contains 175 sheets of stout paper boards attached by linen hinges to strips of similar material, which form the back of the book. It is sewn with twine, in the oldfashioned way, round six 8tout hempen ropes (each rope containing 70 strands of hemp) much thicker than the ordinary clothes line and four of these ropes are laced into millboards one-half inch thick, which form the foundations for the leather covering. In order to facilitate the handling of the book during the various processes of binding it was found necessary to erect a wooden staging from the cross beam of. which depended an iron chain and pulley block, and by this means the position of the book was altered from time to time. Without the aid of the block and pullev the assistance of six men would have been necessary to manipulate the volume. No fewer than 4.4(56 coDies of the smallest Oxford Bible could be contained within the I compass of this huge book, but they I might not have arrested so much I attention?such is the opinion and . the purpose of the Bible crusade? as this uniaue "edition."
