44. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1597. Small folio. This is Tomson's revision, and is somewhat like the edition of 1562 in general appearance. It is in Roman letters and wants the first title, but is otherwise a good copy. 45. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599. 4to. This is a very curious edition of the Geneva Bible in black-letter. Lea Wilson does not seem to have had a copy of it, as it differs from all the copies of 1599 which he had in his possession, except No. 77 of his Catalogue. It is distinguished as the 'Hee' Bible, because Ruth iii. 15 reads, "and hee went into the citie," where all previous editions have either "and shee went into the citie," or "and went into the citie." 46. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599. Imprinted at London by the 4to. This is Tomson's revision and a beautiful copy, having a black line printed round the page, and a number of woodcuts in the text. In the doggerel verses at the beginning there is a curious substitution of 'de' for 'the,' which suggests that it may have been printed abroad :— “Here is de tree where truth doth grow To leade our lives therein; Here is de judge that stints the strife Rev. xx. 12 also reads: "I saw the death, both great and small, stand before God." The Metrical Psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins at the end are preceded by the hymns Veni Creator, The Humble Suit of a Sinner, Venite Exultemus, The Song of St Ambrose called Te Deum, The Song of the Three Children, The Song of Zacharias, The Song of the Blessed Mary called Magnificat, The Song of Simeon called Nunc Dimittis, The Symbole or Creed of Athanasius called Quicunque Vult, The Lamentation of a Sinner, The Lord's Prayer or Pater Noster, and The Ten Commandments, with the music for each. 47. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599. Imprinted at London by the 4to. This is one of the many editions of Tomson's revision of the Geneva Bible printed with this date. It has two first titles, one with the border containing woodcuts of the four Evangelists surrounded by the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles, and the other with a small woodcut of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. 48. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599, 4to. This is another of Tomson's revision. Matthew vii. 17 reads: "So euery good three bringeth foorth good fruite, and a coorupt tree bringeth foorth euill truite." At the end there is bound in with the volume a copy of the Book of Common Prayer printed by the printers to the University of Cambridge, 1635. 49. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Titles wanting, but evidently Tomson's revision. 1599. 4to. This is an imperfect copy, but it has the curious map showing the forty years' wandering of the Israelites in the book of Numbers, and the curious woodcut of Ezekiel's vision at the beginning of Ezekiel. 50. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599. 4to. This is another of the 1599 editions of Tomson's revision. Zechariah iii. 2 reads: "Is not this a brain taken out of the fire" for Is not this a brand. It has on the fly-leaf: “Edinburgh, 21st July 1778. Gifted by the Miss Falls to Simon Fraser." 51. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599. Imprinted at London by the 4to. A good copy, complete and well bound. It is No. 6 of Lea Wilson's Catalogue. In Ruth in. 15 the reading is: "She went into the citie," and in Zechariah iii. 2, "Is not this a brain taken out of the fire." 52. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Buker. 1599. Imprinted at London by the 4to. This is also a good copy, complete and well bound. "Therefore when thou guest thine almes, thow shalt blowen before thee as the hypocrites do,” Matthew vi. 2 reads: make a trumpet to be 53. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Depities of Christopher Barker. 159. 4to This is a black letter copy, the New Testament being dated 15×1. It is -lightly damaged at the beginning, but is otherwise in fair condition and well bound. 54. The Bible. (Genevan Version) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1599, 4to. The imprint of the Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599, is given on the titles both of the Old and New Testaments, in this copy, and it has the omission of the word 'not' in Matthew vi. 2, like other copies of the same date. But the colophon at the end of the Tables has: "Imprinted at Amsterdam for Thomas Crafoorth, by John Fredericksz Stam, dwelling by the South Church at the Signe of the Hope, 1633." The Metrical Psalms are "Imprinted by I. L. for the Company of Stationers, London, 1633." 55. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Robert Barker. 1600. 4to. This is a black-letter copy and is apparently the first Bible printed by Robert Barker, son of Christopher Barker. Ruth iii. 15 reads as in the 1599 blackletter copy: "Hee went into the citie," most of the others reading "Shee," or "And went into the citie." 56. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Tomson's revision. 1600. 4to. This copy is in Roman letter and without date or printer's name. It is commonly called the Goose Bible, from the figure of a goose on the title-page of the Metrical Psalms, and from which it is supposed to have been printed at Dort. The last two leaves of the Tables bearing the imprint of the Deputies of Christopher Barker, London, 1599, appear to be an insertion. 57. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Tomson's revision. Imprinted at London by Robert Barker. 1602. Folio. This is a beautiful copy in fine binding. It has the two titles and colophon dated 1602, but the Metrical Psalms at the end have the imprint of John Windet for the Assignes of Richard Day, 1595. At the beginning is a fine copy of the Book of Common Prayer without date, but with a profusion of ornamental initial letters, many of which are evidently representations of classical scenes probably from Ovid's Metamorphoses as in the Bishops' Bible of 1572. The Psalter, which also precedes the Bible, bears the imprint of Robert Barker, 1600. 58. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) Imprinted at London by Robert Barker. 1602. : Folio. A black-letter copy with ornamental initial letters. It has some curious readings Psalm xxvii. 29, "The righteous shal be punished"; Ecclesiastes xi. 1, "Lay thy bread upon wet faces, and so shalt thou find it after many days"; Jeremiah viii. 22, "Is there not Triacle at Gilead?" This copy has the old chain attached to the wooden boards by which it had been fastened to a reading-desk. 59. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Robert Barker. 1603. 4to. This must be a rather rare edition, and is a nice copy, excellently printed in 19. The Bible. (Bishops' version.) By Richard Jugge. 1574. Folio. This edition has at the 24th chapter of Joshua a folding map of Canaan, dated 1574, which, however, is from the same block used by Coverdale in his Bible of 1535. This copy wants the title-page and some of the preliminary matter, but is otherwise in very fair condition. At the end, bound in with the Bible, is a part of a work entitled The Lyres of Holy Sainctes, Prophetes, Patriarches, &c., by John Marbeck, author of the first Concordance. The 'lives' are arranged in alphabetical order, and the part here inserted reaches from Aaron to Michol, 58 pages. 20. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) London, Lucas Harrison. 1575. This copy wants all the preliminary matter, about twenty leaves. The titles of the second part and of the New Testament are original, the others made up. They have a very elaborate framework with a mermaid gazing into a mirror at the foot of the centre-piece. The centre-piece in the title of the New Testament has the symbols of the four Evangelists at the four corners, St Matthew as an Angel, St Mark as a Lion, St Luke as an Ox, and St John as an Eagle. The text is full of errors. Psalm xxxvii. 29 reads: "The righteous shall be punished," and the Epistles to the Hebrews and to Titus are both titled Second Epistle." 21. The holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) London, Richarde Jugge. 1575. 4to. This is the seventh edition of the Bishops' Bible, and a good copy, being almost complete. The first title is in facsimile; the Calendar and Book of Common Prayer are at the beginning and the device of Richard Jugge at the end. 22. The Bible. Imprinted at London by Christopher Birker. 1576. Folio. This is Tomson's revision of the Genevan version, and the first Geneva Bible printed in England. This copy wants the title, but is full of manuscript notes in a contemporary hand sometimes in English and sometimes in Latin. At the end is the metrical version of the Psalins by Sternhold and Hopkins, with the tunes, and an explanatory note to the reader giving the sol-fa notation, 23.

Folio, The Newe Testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ, conferred diligently with the Greke, &c. At Edinburgh, Printed by Thomas Bassandyne. 1576. This is the first edition of the Bible printed in Scotland, begun by Thomas Bassandyne and issued after his death by Alexander Arbuthnot. It is a reprint of the Geneva Bible of 1561. At the end of the thirteenth chapter of Revelation is a note explaining the "number of the Beast" in which is a Greek word printed in rude Greek letters. This is the first specimen of Greek printing in Scotland. The woodcut of the Royal Arms of Scotland is the same as that used in Bellenden's Croniklis, printed at Edinburgh by Thomas Davidson in 1542, but smaller. This copy is not perfect, wanting the preliminary matter and several leaves. The Edinburgh Public Library possesses a good copy which I could have got in Manchester. It seems at one time to have belonged to a Patrick Lindsay, and what is very curious, this copy, which I got in Brechin, has on the title-page of the New Testament the inscription :"Patrik Lindesay off barnyards, ye first off"-the rest of the date being cut away by the binder. At the commencement of the Apocrypha on a blank space is "P. Barnyardis" twice repeated. There is little known of the Forfarshire family of the Lindsays of Barnyards, otherwise called The Haugh of Tannadice, whose castle of Barnzaird, as it is termed in Monipennie's Briefe Description of Scotland, stood about two miles north of the castle of Finhaven (Land of the Lindsays, 2nd edition, p. 208). Jervise states that they were hereditary constables of Finhaven. Patrick Lindsay, 'apparent' of Barnyards, is mentioned in the Register of the Great Seal in 1590. În 1592 he had a charter from the crown of the lands of Tannadice, Barnyards, and Glenquich. This is probably the Patrick Lindsay of Barnyards who possessed the Bible. 24. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) Chr. Barker. 1578. Folio. London, by assignment of This edition called the Dotted Bible is printed page for page with that of 1574. This copy wants the title-page. At the commencement of each Gospel there is a woodent of the Evangelist represented as writing his Gospel with his symbol beside him; but for the woodcut of Matthew is substituted that of Mark, which is also repeated in its proper place at the commencement of Mark's Gospel. 25.
