"The large collection of varied information which j'o\i have appended to the Oxford BiHLB FOR Teacheus, in a form so readily available for reference, has evidently been com- piled with the gi-eatest care; and the testimony which you have received to its accuracy is a guarantee of its high value. I cannot doubt that the volume, in its various forms, will be of gi-eat service." — The Archbishop of Canterbury.
"The notion of including in one volume all the helps that a clergyman or teacher would be likelj' to want for the study of the Bible has never been realised before with the same success that you have attained in the Oxford Bible fob TEACHERa In the small edition (Ruby 16mo. thin), by the use of paper very skilfully adapted to the purpose, there is a Bible with an Atlas, a Concordance, an Index, and several Tractates on various points of Biblical antiquity, the whole, in a very solid binding, weighing a pound and an ounce : no great weight for what is really a miniature library. The clergy will probably give the preference to the larger book, marked No. 4. Tins includes the Apocrypha, with all the helps to the use of the Bible that distinguish the series. Its type is excellent. Many clergymen are obliged to write sermons when travelling from place to place. This volume would serve as a small library for that purpose, and not too large for the most moderate portmanteau. I think that this work in some of its forms should be in the hands of every teacher. The atlas is very clear and well printed. The explanatory work ami the indices, so far as I have been able to examine them, are very carefully done. I am glad that my own University has, by the preparation of this series of books, taken a new step for the promotion of the careful study of the Word of God. That such will be the effect of the publication I cannot doubt." — The Archbishop of York.
" It would be difficult, I think, to provide for Sunday-School Teachers, or indeed for other students of the Bible, so much valuable information in so convenient a form as is now comprised in the Oxford Bible iob Teachers." — The Bishop of London.
"The idea of a series of Bibles in different types, corresponding page for page with one another, is one which the Dean has long wished to see realised for the sake of those who find the type of their familiar copies no longer available .... The amount of information com- pressed into the comparatively few pages of the Appendix is wonderful. And the Dean is glad to hear that the help of such eminent contributors has been available for its com- pilation. The Concordance seems to be sufficiently full for reference to any text that may be required." — The Dean of Rochester.
"Having by frequent use made myself acquainted with this edition of the Holy Scrip- tures, I have no hesitation in saying that it is a most valuable book, and that the ex- planatory matter collected in the various appendices cannot but prove most helpful, both to teachers and learners, in acquiring a more accurate and extensive knowledge of the Word of God." — The Bishop of Lichfield.
"I have examined the Oxford Bible for Teacheks with very great care, and con- gratulate you upon the publication of so valuable a work. It contains within a reason- able compass a large mass of most useful information, arranged so conveniently as to bo easily accessible, and its effect will be not merely to aid, but also, I think, to stimulate the studies of the reader. The book is also printed so beautifully, and is so handsome in every way, that I expect it will be greatly sought after, as a most acceptable present to any who are engaged in teaching in our Sunday Schools and elsewhere." — The Dean of Canterbury.

"I have examined with some care a considerable portion of the 'Helps to the Study of the Bible,' -which are placed at the end of the Oxfg'::b Bible for Teachers, and have been much struck with the vast amount of really useful information which has there been brought together in a small compass, as well as the accuracy with which it has been com- piled. Tlie botanical and geological notices, the account of the animals of Scripture, &c., seem to be excellent, and the maps are admirable. Altogether, the book cannot fail to be of service, not only to teachers, but to all who cannot afford a large library, or who have not time for much independent study." — The Dean of Peterborough.
" I have been for some time well aware of the value of the Oxford Bible for Teach- ers, and have been in the habit of recommending it, not only to Sunday-School Teachei"s, but to more advanced students, on the ground of its containing a large mass of accurate and well-digested information, useful and in many cases indispensable to the thoughtful reader of Holy Scripture ; in fact, along with the Bible, a copious Index, and a Concor- dance complete enough for all ordinary purposes, this one volume includes a series of short but comprehensive chapters equivalent to a small library of Biblical works." — The Bishop OF Limerick.
"Having examined the Oxford Bible for Teachers carefully, I am greatly pleased with it. The 'Helps to the Study of the Bible' at the end contain a great amount of most valuable information, well calculated not only to lead to a good understanding of the text, but to stimulate the student to further efforts. It differs from many publications in this, that the information is so admirably arranged, that it is well suited for reference, and is easily available for the student. The edition would be most useful to Sunday-School Teachers, a great help to those who desire that the young shall have a real knowledge of the Word of God." — The Bishop of Cork.
"The Oxford Bible for Teachers may, I think, without exaggeration, be described as a wonderful edition of the Holy Scriptures. The clearness and beauty of the type, and the convenient shape of the volume, leave nothing to be desired. I know nothing of the same compass which can be compared to the 'Helps to the Study of the Bible' for fulness of information and general accuracy of treatment. It is only real learning which can ac- complish such a feat of compression." — The Bishop of Derrt and Raphob.
"I consider the Oxford Bible foe Teachers to be simply the most valuable edition of the English Bible ever presented to the public."— The Ven. Archdeacon Eeichel.
" The Oxford Bible for Teachers is in every respect, as regards type, paper, binding, and general information, the most perfect volume I have ever examined." — The Rev. Pre- bendary Wilson, of the National Society's Bejoository.
"The essence of fifty expensive volumes, by men of sacred ! ".rning, is condensed into the pages of the Oxford Bible for Teachers." — The Rev. Andrew Thomson, D.D., Edinburgh-
"The latest researches are laid under contribution, and the Bible Student is furnished with the pith of them all." — Dr. Stoughton.
"The whole combine to form a Help of the greatest value."— Dr. Angus.
"I cannot imagine anything more complete or more helpful."— Dr. W. Morlet Punshon.
"I congratulate the teacher who possesses it, and knows how to turn its 'Helps' to good account." — Dr. Kennedy.

"The OxFOED Bible fob Teachers is the most valuable help to the study of the Holy Scriptures, within a moderate compass, which I have ever met with. I shall make constant use of it ; and imagine that few who are occupied with, or interested in the close study of the Scriptures, will allow such a' companion to be far from their side." — The Eev. Baldwin Brown.
"I do not think I shall ever leave home without the Oxford Bible foe Teachers, for one can scarcely miss his ordinary books of reference when this Bible is at hand. I know no other edition which contains so much valuable help to the reader." — The Rev. A. H. Chahteris, D.D., Dean of the Chapel Royal.
" Tlie Oxford Bibles foe Teachers are as good as ever we can expect to see." — The Eev. C. H. Spurgeon.
"The modest title of the work scarcely does justice to the range of subjects which it comprehends, and the quality of their treatment. As a manual of Biblical information and an auxiliary of Biblical study, it is unrivalled. It is as exhaustive as it is concise, — no irrelevant matter has been introduced, and nothing essential to Biblical study seems to have been omitted, — and in no instance, so far as I can judge, has thoroughness or accuracy been sacrificed to the necessities of condensation." — The Rev. Robert N. Young, of Eeadingley College, Leeds.
" The Oxford Bible fob Teachers is really one of the greatest boons which in our day has been offered U> the reading public. The information given is so various, and so com- plete, as scarcely to leave a single desideratum. To Christians, in their quiet researches at home, or in the course of extensive journeys, or in preparation for the duties of tuition, it is simply invaluable, and constitutes in itself a Biblical Library. The range of topics which it seeks to illustrate is very great, while the care and accuracy manifest in the articles deserves the highest praise. It is no exaggeration to say, that to the mass of Christian people it saves the expense of purchasing and the toil of consulting a library of volumes. At the same time, I know no book more likely to stimulate enquiry, and to give the power of appreciat- ing further research into the history, structures, and meaning of the Sacred Oracles." — Db. Goold, of Edinburgh.
"I have only recently possessed one of the Oxford Bibles for Teachers; and after a most patient examination of it, am astonished at the immense amount of accurate and carefully digested matter it contains : and that, too, of a kind precisely adapted to the Teacher's needs. Would that such a Bible had been within my reach when I first began my teaching life ; and would that I had possessed one earlier, since I began to write for Teachers. As I look at its upwards of 300 pages of ' Helps to the Study of the Bible,' 1 recall my toilsome pilgrimage through many volumes, at much expenditure of time, for what is here so distinctly stated and tabulated. With such a desk companion I might have done so much more, and done it so much better. All I can do now is to entreat all Teachers who need a perfectly reliable Bible for study or class purposes, to procure one of the Oxford Bibles for Teachers. This I do most earnestly. And I would add that as a , presentation volume by a class to its Teacher, or by a School to its Superintendent, no gift would be better appreciated or more appropriate than the small quarto size with its wide margin, and magnificent type, and superb flexible binding." — The Rev. James Comper Gray, Author of "Class and Desk," " Topics for Teachers," *' Biblical Museum," ^c, ^c.
"Tliese admirable Bibles must tend to extend the fame even of the Oxford Press." — The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.R
