Such is the title-page of a work, the first number of which we have received. The left-hand column of each page contains the Greek text, and immediately under every Greek word, its literal translation into English; and so on word by word; and in the right-hand column a new version, with foot notes. We are pleased with some of the renderings given in the number before us. Those interested in such enterprises can obtain Prospectuses and Specimens of the work, free of charge, by addressing the Publishers, Geneva, Kane Co., Ills. They propose to issue it in some 27 numbers of 32 pp. each. Who its literary engineer is, is not stated.
