A rare Welsh Holy Bible! Baskett Bibles are considered some of the most desirable 18th-century Bibles. In fact, the Baskett Bible became the first English Bible to see print in America in 1761 (see Darlow/Moule 1136). This 1769 Welsh edition, like other Baskett Bibles, includes both the Old and New Testaments. This particular example was published in London published by Mark and Robert Baskett.
