The Armenian Bible, with marginal references, electrotyped and printed in New York by the American Bible Society, was highly prized.
The American Tract Society had also electrotyped and printed several works for the mission, which were admired for their beauty, and were furnished more cheaply than they could have been prepared in Constantinople..
