Wake-up call for coffee drinkers over caffeine toxicity
One of the largest collections of old Bibles in the UK is currently being showcased at Glasgow's Mitchell Library in an exhibition to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the production of the King James Bible in 1611. The exhibition's centre piece is two different issues of the first edition of the most widely-acclaimed English Bible translation of all time. Produced in 1611 at the request of James VI and I to improve existing English translations, it eventually reigned supreme in the English-speaking world until the late nineteenth century. The majority of exhibits featured come from the unique Euing Collection of Bibles in Glasgow University Library's Special Collections. William Euing (1788-1874), underwriter and marine insurance broker in Glasgow, was an avid book collector. He bequeathed his collection to the university library in 1874. It includes one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Bibles, psalters, prayer-books and hymnbooks ever assembled by one individual.
