interest and response, we shall be happy to continue it. Readers may ask questions too, and we shall try to find answers. It could prove mutu ally profitable, and mean the dis covery and recording of a good deal of valuable information.

G. F. Vallance. Does anyone know his full name and dates? He was among Brethren and lived at Goodmayes, Essex, England, around the 1920’s. He wrote and published under his own imprint. We have re corded twenty titles from his pen. The Biola Library has four of his titles. 2. Ernest Feasey. He appears to have been among Brethren, as some of his writings appear in the series “Helps for Young Christians,” pub lished by Brethren publishers. He wrote the pamphlets: Jephthah; or, The Man Who Did not go Back; Moses: His God; and Samson. Does anyone know anything about him? 3. Bible collectors. There are a number of these in the country. It has even been suggested that there ought to be a Bible Collectors Society formed. Efforts are under way to get some of the older less known trans lations republished. If there is in terest, a list of collectors could be started here. 4. Red letter Bibles. Who has copies of the English Bible with red letters in the Old Testament as well as the New? There are at least two of these printed. Very few people have ever heard of them. One was printed by the John C. Winston Co. in 1905. It is called The Red Letter Holy Bible. Prophetic types and prophecies in the Old Testament referring to Christ, and references to Old Testament pas sages quoted or referred to by Christ, are printed in red. The only copies we have seen are bound in brown buck ram with the pasted labels on the spine, the lower one reading “The Law and Concordance.” Note the re print announcement elsewhere in this issue. 5. Old book catalogs. Older book catalogs of publishers are hard to find. Many publishers do not keep complete files of the catalogs. .In Great Britain many files were de stroyed during the war. Book cata logs are prime sources for bibliog raphy in some cases. Often booklists were bound in the back of books. One such list is quite interesting: the 1872 list of S. W. Partridge, a catalog of eight pages, bound into
current English)? It was according to Hugh Pope, Andrew Norton’s The Gospels (Boton, 1955) and Sawyer’s New Testament which was published in 1858, 1860, 1861, and 1891. Sawyer also issued parts of the Old Testa ment: some parts of Genesis, Esther, P o e t i c a l books, Minor Prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. 8. Cook’s Commentary. The Speak er’s Commentary, edited by F. C. Cook, was published in 10 volumes in 1871-1881. It contained a revision of the King James, or Authorized, text of the Bible, and appeared about the time the English Revised version of the New Testament came out.
Gathered Grain, by E. A. H. The only clue we have as to the identity of E. A. H. is that she is said to have been, or become, “Mrs. Gordon.” Can anyone identify her? 6. Conflagration of the earth. For an extensive review of ancient literature on this interesting subject, see Im manuel Velikovsky’s Worlds in Colli sion (New York, Macmillan, 1950). For an interesting vindication, in part at least, of Velikovsky’s work, see Harper’s Magazine for August, 1963. 7. Earliest Modern English New Testament. Which is the first of the long line of so-called “modern” trans lations of the Bible (i.e., those using
