AUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE BIBLE (11 S. xii. 183, 266). May I add to my reply at the latter reference ? The first edition of the Authorized Version of the Bible was published in 1611, but there was more than one issue of the same date. At the Huth Sale a copy bearing this date was sold which " was believed to be the earliest issue." It was printed by Robert Barker, King's printer, and was a fine copy bound by F. Bedford in Lyonnese style.

The first two issues of the Authorized Version are referred to in various publica- tions as the great " He " and " She " Bibles from their respective readings of

chap. iii. v. 15, of Ruth ; that in the first being " He went into the citie," and in the second " She."

In 1907 a copy was offered for sale by Sotheran & Co. as the first edition of the Authorized Version, with the following note : " The first or standard issue of the first edition of King James's or the so-called Authorized Version." The title reads :

" The Holy Bible, conteyning the Old Testa^ ment, and the New. Newly translated out of the originall tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised by His Maiestie's Speciall Comandement. Appointed to be read in churches."

Thick royal folio, measuring 15 in. by 10 in. ; Robert Barker, 1611. Black-letter; fine engraved title by C. Boel ; woodcut title to New Testament, pages of the genealogy, and engraved map, by Elstrack, and woodcut initials and chapter headings.

Collation : Title, 1 leaf ; Dedication to King James I., 3 pp. ; The Translators to the Reader, 11 pp. ; Kalendar (in red and black), 6 11 ; Almanacke, Easter Table and Lessons, &c., 4 11. ; Genealogies (surrounded by two black lines), 18 11. ; Engraved map of Canaan, with alphabetical table, 2 11. ; Old Testament (including the Apocrypha), A-Cccc in sixes ; New Testament, A-Aa in sixes. .

DR. ALLEN, OBIIT 1579 (11 S. x. 109, 297, 300; xii. 74). I regret to say that through not " verifying my references " I. have been betrayed into various false statements at the last reference.

1. There is no confusion between Ralph and Roger Allen in the ' Douay Diaries ' themselves.

The confusion originates in a Roman document which forms Appendix V. of the late Father Knox's edition of the first and second ' Douay Diaries,' and thence has found its way into his index.

2. Father Southwell was in error when he said that Ralph Allen was received into the Society of Jesus in 1576.

Ralph Allen left Douai 19 Feb., 1576/7 ; and the news that he had been received into the Society at Lyons arrived at the English College, Douai, 31 May, 1577.

3. Roger Allen was ordained sub-deacon in September, and deacon in December, 1577 (not 1575), and priest in the follow r ing February. He received all these orders at Cambrai.

When Roger Allen joined the English College at Douai, 1 June, 1577, he was described as an Irish student of medicine ;
