MUELLER‘S BIBLE.
WILL IT BE A 81100188? PREVIOUS VERSIONS RECALLED. (Times Air Mail Service). LONDON. April 16. I have been wondering whether, from a publisher‘s point of View, Raiohsblshop Mueller's new version o! the Sermon on the Mount will be a cuooess. says a correspondent to the Telegraph. When in 1881 the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge published the New Testament in the Revised Version. the sales for surpassed anything that had been anticipated. So intense was the curiosity of the public that bribes o! as much as £SOOO had been offered for advance copies. \V'hen the day of publication arrived the Oxford Press alone sold a million copies within 1?. houi‘s. A “eels later a Chlcaso newspaper published ihe entire work as a supplement. having received the text by telegraph. ,
