Beschreibung

A curious hieroglyphick Bible; or, select passages in the Old and New Testaments, represented with emblematical figures for the amusement of youth: designed chiefly to familarize tender Age, in a pleasing and diverting Manner, with early ideas of the Holy Scriptures. To which are subjoined a short account of the lives of the evangelists, and other pieces, illustrated with cuts. The twentieth edition. London: Printed by J. Barker, 1812. 5.5" 3.5" approx. In generally poor condition, and in need of some care. Decorated board covers, the spine almost perished, but still attached. Pastedown frontispiece of the Garden of Eden. Reverse of title page has inscription 'Frances Veales Book May 20 1821'. 134pp., b/w woodcuts throughout. The pages generally frail, rough-cut, with some dog-ears, evidence of this having been a much-read book. Pagination is complete; between pp. 56 and 57 is inserted a torn-out page from a separate Catechism, presumably as a bookmark. A rare, much-loved, item, in need of some conservation work.
