 Aiixjiig the few family possessions in the shape of books hastily gathered up 
 anil brought away years ago from the olil homestead in the Fatherland were an 
 early l)lack-letter (juarto Bible and Prayer Book, and a folio copy of the Para- 
 phrase of Erasmus on the (lospel of St. John. They still had upon them por- 
 tions of the original oaken covers, ornamented with dingy brass bosses, and 
 fragments of clasps. Leaves were wanting at the beginning of each volume, 
 and those that remained, were many of them much worn and tattered. These 
 books bore the look of having been once used in the public service of the Church. 
 The cover of the Paraphrase still retained a loose link, shewing tliat the book 
 had at some former time been fastened by a chain to a desk or reading stand. 
 (All parish churches were at one period ordered to be supplied with a copy of 
 this Paraphrase.) I used to imagine that the books in (juestiou were probably 
 saved from total destruction through the care of some worthy churchwarden 
 forefather. These volumes, notwithstanding their somewhat unsightly and 
 mutilated condition, in some strange way, took the fancy of the boyish mind, 
 and awakened therein a strong desire to possess further specimens of this species 
 of literary curiosity. 
 
 Accordingly, as years went on, whenever a chance occurred locally for securing 
 a volume of this kind the opportunity was gladly embraced, and sometimes a 
 copy was ordered from a London catalogue, when the price demanded was not 
 
 (moderate . 
 
 Thus my collection grew. To have been among the first in these parts at 
 least, to assist in passing across from the Old World to the New, the torch of 
 Lnowledge on such a subject as "Pioneer Versions of the Bible," and on several 
 >ther special subjects having a charm with studious minds, is an honour which 
 
 am proud to claim. I have great pleasure in allowing my collection to form 
 
 )ur Log Shanty Book-Shelf for this year — for so we have denominated now for 
 
 leveral years an assemblage of homely books, illustrative, for the most part, of 
 
 'iarly pioneer days in Canada, each assemblage differing entirely from its pre* 
 
 'MecesBor.

THE LOG SHANTY BOOK-SHULF FOR 1889. 
 
 I have styled the collection a gathering of " Pioneer Bibles," because, as will 
 be snen, it consists principally of very early editions of Knglish versions of the 
 Svcred Scripture. The date of the first l)ook mentioned in the catalogue is, by 
 a happy accident, A.D. 1580, just three centuries ago. I have added fac-simile 
 reprints of Coverdale's Bible, A.I). 1535; Tyndall's, A.D. 1534; Wycliffe's, 
 A.D. 1380, and some others. Several early copies of the Scriptures in Latin, 
 German, French, Italian and Welsh are also shewn. I hope to deposit these 
 books at a future time in some place of safe- keeping where they may be seen 
 and examined by persons who take an interest in such venerable remains of the 
 past. 
 
 The numerous editions in the Knglish language of the sacred writings of 
 Christendom appearing from time to time, year after year, tliroughout so long 
 a ])eriod, are striking evidences of the sterling innate religiousness, so to speak, 
 of the English race. 
 
 Would not collections of such visible relics as these displayed this year on 
 
 our Log Shanty Book-Shelf, gathered together and made easily accessible at all 
 
 the principal centres of influence already existing and hereafter destined to exist 
 
 throughout the length and breadth of the land, help in no slight degree, to 
 
 keep the ])rescnt generation, and many a generation after us, in vital touch, 
 
 inorally and even politically, with the wise and understanding people of the 
 
 great nation which in these latter days, has inaugurated this Dominion, and is 
 
 doing so much to render it more and more completely an integral portion of 
 
 itself.

 The same titles as the preceding,'. 4to. Black letter. 
 
 The first six Bibles of this Catalo},'ue are successive editions of the Geneva version. 
 This version had its name from the fact that it was made at Geneva by English exiles 
 residin),' in that city, driven from their homes through the Marian pereecution. 
 
 The Geneva version was the joint labour of Christopher Goodman, Anthony Oibby, 
 Thomas San)pson, William Cole, William Whitingham, and Miles Coverdale. 
 
 The last mentioned divine had himself issued a complete version of the Sacred 
 Scriptures in 1.53.'), which became the basis of all the subsecpient English versions down 
 to the present time.

 L-ompartnieiit siirroiindeti hy ii woo4l-cnt frame consistint; of fltfures of patriaroha, 
 prophets, upostles, and evangeliHts. In tiiis volume the title is repeated on the next

 (These texts surround a wood-cut representing the passa)^e of the Ked Sea). 
 
 4to. Ordinary tyi)e. Metrical psalms and nnisic. Wood-cuts. 
 
 1603.— THE BIBLE, Kxi. 
 
 Same as the precedinif. 
 
 New Ti'Stiiment i>laced first for the sake of the title, which in the usual heart* 
 shaped compartment reads thus: "The New Testjiment of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 translated out of Greelc Ity Theo<l Heza: With briefe summaries and expositions 
 upon the hard places hy the said author, Joachim Camerarius and t'. Loseler 
 Villerius. En(;lishe<l hy L. Tomson. Toi^ether with the annotations of Fr. Junius 
 upon tlic Revelation of St. John. Im))rinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to 
 the (Queen's Most Excellent Majestic. 1(103." Woo<lcuts. Metrical Psalms, with 
 music. Ordinary type. 
 
 This title differs from that which in to be seen in other editions of the New Testa- 
 ment, Geneva version, the ordinary form beinjjr us follows : " The New Testament of 
 our Lor<l Jesus ( 'hrist, conferrefl dilli>;ently with the CJreeke and liest approved transla- 
 tions in divers laiiKuaKes." 
 
 The ol)]ect of the notes in both of these editions of the Geneva New Testament 
 would seem to have been to read a Calvaiiistic sense into certain texts, just as in 
 the Douay version of the Enj^lish Bible, a Komanistic sense is read into various texts, 
 despite the art^umeat of the writer. Beza's notes are more moderate in tone than those 
 that fill the marKin of the other edition, and this may probably account for the appear- 
 ance of two Enj^lish editions of the New Testament : Some of the interiiretations in the 
 ordinary editions are very <lefinite. Kev. xiii, 11, is illustrated by the fact that " Boni- 
 face VIII, who ordained the Jubilee, shewetl himself one day in apparel as a Pope, and the 
 next day in harness as the Emperor." And in Rev. ix, 3, the locusts are : " False 
 teat^hers, heretickes, and worldly subtile false Prelates, with Monks, Friars, Cardinals, 
 Patriarches, Archbishops, Bishops, Doctors, Bachelors and Masters, which forsake 
 Christ and maintains false doctrines." 
 
 1608.— THE BIBLE, Etc. 
 
 Same as the precediiij^. 
 
 Immetliately after the Title Pa;;e follow the usual verses "(" the incomparable 
 treasure of the Holy Scriptures." A specimen is here (^iven : 
 
 "The tidings of Salvation deere, 
 
 Come to our ears from hence ; 
 
 The Fortresse of our Faith is heere. 
 
 And shield of our defence. 
 " Then be not like the hojft^e 
 
 That hath a pearle at his desire, 
 
 And takes more pleasure of the trough. 
 
 And wallowinj; in the mire."

 Epistle to the Reader comes next. 
 
 This Epistlu consists uf two pa^es of fine tyfte, the second of which is niatle up 
 chiefly of a profltal)Ie nietho<i of studyint; the Holy Scriptures in ati analytical form. 
 The name T. (Jroshop is appended to the Epistle. 
 
 Two r!(jrht profltat)le and fruitfiill Coneonlances, or lar^e and ample Tables Alpha- 
 betieall. The first c-ontainintf the ititen'retation of the Hebrew, CaMean, Oreeke, iind 
 Latine words and names scatterinj^ly disperHe<i throu);hout the whole Kible, with their 
 common places followinjf every of them. (This wa« to fai^ilitate the choice of 
 Koo<l Bible names for children). And the second coniprehendinj,' all such other 
 pruicii)all words and matters, as concerne the senses and meanin); of the Scriptures, 
 or direct unto ony necessary and jfood instruction. 
 
 The further contents and use of both the which Tables(for brevity's sake) is expressed 
 more at large in the preface to the Reader, and will serve as well for the Translation 
 called Geneva, cm for the other authorized to be used in the Churches. 
 
 These .\lphabeticall Tables are then stated to be "Collected by R. F. H." These 
 initials it would seem from the si),'nature in full, attached to the Preface to the (.'on> 
 conlanccs, to be those of " Robert F Herry." 
 
 In the presen.' Copy the (Jenealo^'otical Tables of John Speed are inserted after the 
 Concordances. Tie first Concordance consists of sixty-six quarto pajjes. The second 
 Concordance of iiiiiety-two patfes. 
 
 For a further deiicription prefixed to the second Alphabeticall Table, it is ipiaintly 
 stated " to be conducive unto most of the necessariest and profltablest doctrines, 
 sentences and instr'ictions, which are to be found in the Ohle and New Testament." 
 
 4to HIack letter. Oritrinal oaken covers with brass bosses. 
 1609.— THE HI RLE, Eve. 
 
 Same as tlie preceding. 
 
 After the Title Page ajipears the " Address to the Christian Reader," followed by the 
 verses "Of the Incomparable Treasure of the Holy Scripture with a prayer for the 
 truth of the same." 
 The Concordances are at the end. 4to. Ordinary type. 
 
 1613.-THE HOLY BIBLE: CoNTAIXINtJ THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW. 
 
 Newly translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations dili- 
 gently compared and rcv'ised. By His Majestie's special commandement. 
 
 Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, printer to the King's Most Excellent 
 Majestic. Ainio 1013. Ruth iii., l.'i, Zech. xi., 17. 4to. Black letter. Original oaken 
 covers. Brass bosses. 
 
 The first edition of the so-called King James' edition appeared in 1611. The Genev" 
 version was distasteful to King James, and to many of the dignitaries of the church. 
 Soon after his arrival in England in l(j03, the King ha<l expressed himself in regard to 
 this version, as well as to others that had preceded it, to the effect that, "it was very 
 partial, untrue, seditious, and savouring too nuich of dangerous and traitorous con- 
 ceits." Accordingly a new revision was ordered an'! executacl. 
 
 1613.— HO LV BIBLE, Etc. 
 
 A dui)licate of the last. 
 
 After the title page comes the dedication to King James, consisting of two pages. 
 Then the translators to the reader, which is contained in nine pages. At the end are 
 apjiended the two usual concordances. 4to. Black letter. Ruth iii., 15. 
 
 1614— THE BIBLE, Etc. 
 
 Another duplicate of King James' Version. 
 
 Strange to say, the epithet " Holy " has been here omitted. Generally speaking, the 
 Geneva version is distinguishable from that of King James' by this omission, the

 In this version occurs the well-known curious translation of I*s. xci, .'> : " Sn thou xhalt 
 not nede to be af rayed /or eitii bujycx by night, nor for arroire that fiieth by dtiyc." In 
 this version it may be added Gen. iii, 7, reads : " Made themxel»cs aproim," not 
 " breechex," as all Geneva versions read. Likew ise, Matt, xxiii, 24, is correctly reniiered, 
 " Strain out a gnat," not, " Strain at a gnat," as wronjjly printed in Kin^' James' ver- 
 sion, an error not rectified till A.D. I88fi— the version then issued reads, " Strain out 
 the grat," which accords with the orijfinal, the idea there being that of a person scru- 
 pulously passing a cup of wine through a strainer or filter for the purpose of being rid 
 of one minute insect, while at the same time some very large object floating in the 
 same vessel is swallowed down without hesitation. At Zach, xi, 17, the reading is 
 "idol."

 mitre surrounded l).v three crowns, to indicate the authority of the Bishops in earth, 
 heaven and liades Below the mitre are seen two very large keys, representing the 
 alleged power of these Bishops as the supposed successors of St. Peter. This recjiUs 
 the circumstance that when the prospective " 1 will give," addressed to St. Peter, St. 
 Matt, xvi., 19, became actually the " 1 do give," of .lohn xx., 23, there was no distinc- 
 tion made in favour of St. Peter.

 * 
 
 Title in fine wood-cut frame, containing flgures of Moses and Aaron, good portrait of 
 Diodati. 
 
 It is unfortunate that in the Italian latiguaure the noble word Biblia should have 
 assumed the somewhat undignified form of " Bibbia," in accordance with a well known 
 law of change in that language. In the Spanisii and Portuguese languages Biblia has 
 remained unchanged. In these inst^mces as well as in the two German title pages and 
 Coverdale's, Biblia is a rare exami)le of the change of a plural into a singular form, 
 "Biblia -a? pro Biblia -orum" (Du Ganges). The French, like the English, employ 
 " Bible." 
 
 1713.-BIBLIA SACRA 
 
 (Vulgate Edition). Printed at Bamberg. 
 
 Fine copperplate engraved title containing emblematical flgures. Folio. Stamped 
 vellum. OakeM covers. 
 
 The Vulgate was a version for the Folk (volg vulg -us) that is to say, the general 
 public, at a tune when the Latin wa-s a widely spoken language. In a similar manner 
 the Greek version known as that of the Seventy, was for the use of Greek speaking 
 populations of the East.
