"And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall 16 thereof.

BOOK.

THE table given below is a condensed exhibit of so much of the detailed "Numerical Summary" found at the end of the volume as can be thus presented. The added feature here is the column showing the number of paragraphs into which the Revisers, in discarding the ordinary verse system (which has been in use since 1551), have divided the New Testament. The average number of words in a paragraph is one hundred and fifty-nine and a half; the average number in a verse is a fraction less than twenty-three. Most of the totals shown in the column footings of the ensuing table are cited in the 46 Editor's Preface."
