Fourth edition. The Preface refers to it as a ÒPictorial EditionÓ that is Òin every respect equal to its predecessors, and in some points superior.Ó Though pagination differs between the 1872 edition (108 pp.) and the 1873 and 1874 editions (76 pp.), what textual differences there are between those editions and the fourth edition is something we cannot determine without being able to compare them. All editions are scarce, with OCLC recording a combined total of seven copies of the 1872, 1873, and 1874 editions, the majority of them in the U.K Twelvemo. 108 pp. Chromolithographic frontispiece and every page with four chromolithographic illustrations, each accompanied by a Bible verse.
