THE first edition of the Gaelic Testament, and the first part of the Bible that appeared in that language. It was published at the same time, both in 8vo. and 12mo; there were 10,000 copies printed, and it was then considered as pure Gaelic, free from the Irish idiom. It was translated by the Rev. James Stewart, Minister of Killin. At the beginning are rules for reading the Gaelic language; and the contents of the chapters are placed at the commencement of each. It also contains the various Gaelic readings at the bottom of each page. It has now become rare. The translating and printing cost about L.700.

The above three editions are almost reprints from that of 1796, but smaller in type, and on a larger paper; they are all frequently to be met with, bound along with the Old Testament of 1807, and Psalms of 1800; they contain rules for reading the Gaelic, and were paged; the number of pages in each was 364.

The demy cost 1s. 7d. bound in calf, and contained 448 pages; the crown cost ls. bound in calf, and contained 293 pages: it is often to be met with bound with the Old Testament of 1823, and was printed by B.

The above appear to be reprints from the Edinburgh edition of 1821, only they do not contain the rules for reading the Gaelic, and are paged at the bottom instead of the top. The number of pages in the first is 268, and

often to be found with the 8vo. Old Testament of 1821; the second occupies 529 pages: they were both printed by B. Bensley.

The above was printed at the same time with the Quarto Bible, and with the same types; but as the lines of the 4to. and 8vo. are of different lengths, it must, in the language of printers, have been overrun, and the contents, dates, &c. taken away; and although it does not mention
