143 pages (the 2nd edition has 158 printed pages). Contains Old Testament paraphrases only. All edges gilt. Original yellow endpapers. 34 x 46 mm. Original blue cloth. Elaborately gilt stamped on both covers and spine (see Rock's similarly bound History of England). Adam, 276f. Not in Bondy, nor Spielmann, nor Welsh. See Adomeit, B78, and Welsh, 1039 for second editions. Adomeit B78 writes no first edition has been located. Adomeit dates as circa 1845-50, but P.A.H. Brown, London Publishers and Printers, 1800-1870, dates the firm Rock Bros. & Payne as active 1844-83, so possibly issued later.  No copies of fourth edition located by WorldCat. See OCLC, 226318842 for 2nd edition, that WorldCat locates 2 copies worldwide (Virginia and Indiana Universities). Rare fourth edition with different text to second edition - Adam mentions an 1859 fourth edition in a footnote but with no further indication of where that example is housed.
