THE COMPLETE DOMESTIC BIBLE.

Mlf :KICHAED ALUNQUAM, authorised agent for " The Complete Domestic Bible," hus called at our oflice and states that the letfcr in oti'r Saturday's issue" r'p&fss.&<s Yankee Bible canvassers might be taken as referring to him. Ho therefore brought tho sample copy on which' his 'orders' w.eitf taken, with a complete copy of theJßitde now bein(T delivered, to show that bo far from orders having beett (jbtaitfed by any £iirepre'sea|4tlons|thg Bibles at'^congidkr. ably belter than were promised, and worth more than the amount charged for them. We have'examincd Mr AllifleibaKi's sample copy and the Domestic1' Bible as delivered, and consider that all the promises contained in the former are fulfilled by the book itself. The Bible is a very handsome one, atrongjy bound and extra gilt; and 'illustrated with Ame icun transcripts of fibnS's' fanions plates. It contains; in addition to the Old and New Testaments and metrical version of the Psalms, the Apocrypha, Descriptions of the Holy Land, Biographies of: Eminent Bible Characters, History of tha Anoient Books of the Bible, Pronouncing a»4/I}e4nmg Dictionary of the Bible, and a number of historical, biographical, and chrjonblogical essays explanatory of the Bible ,narj;atiyes. Those who' .have subscribed for tbis ,W°.rk have certainly no reason-to charge themselves with' having made a bad bargain. Mr Allinßham informs; us that over ten thousand copies have T>eensold.in Victoria and.New South Wales, and hundreds in New Zealand, and he has a letter acknowledging the receipt of copien, and expressing satisfaction with them, signed by a large number of people, including the Bey Mr Kirk, of Wellington. ~ .
