After the biahobs’ translation of 1568-1589, nothing further in that line wns accomplished until 1009-1610, when the Roman Catholics brought out tile Donat DiUe, so callod because it was printed at a city of that name. A year lalcr, in 1011, tlio English press issued the King James revision. The translation of 1011 has remained tho standard up even to this day, not withstanding the recent revision, tho merit of which rests almost wholly on tho fact that "hell” was changed to “hndes.” The Bible of today (Old Testament) contains 39 books, .939 chapters, 33,314 verses, 093,439 words and 3,738,100 letters. . Tho New Testament lias 37 books, 370 chapters; 7,907 verses, 133,393 words and 933,860 letters.
