Description:
New York: American Bible Union, 1857. Hardcover. Very Good. First separate edition (see below). Quarto. Measuring approximately 9¼" x 11½" xxx, 165pp. Publisher's diced cloth with covers elaborately ruled in blind, cover and spine titling gilt. Binding sunned with general soil and wear, including shallow loss at the spine ends, preliminary and terminal leaves lightly foxed, offsetting in the text throughout, and a few pages with a small marginal stain, a very good copy. The text is split into three columns: King James Version, Hebrew text, and Revised Version, with footnotes. First published in 1856 as Part I of a three-part publication (in one volume); the text of this publication is almost certainly using the 1856 sheets.
