Beschreibung

A set of parts in original blue paper covers, and missing only the final part 17. Included though, is the index part, which came last. All pages and plates in excellent clean condition, still mostly uncut, and each part has bound in several high quality engraved plates, some on tinted paper. The spine strips are a bit frayed, mostly present, the rough cut edges have become dusty and darkened, not too bad. The paper covers are darkened and dusty, with the odd worm track. The parts have been kept together life-long in a neat bundle so have protected eachother quite well. There is some waviness to the pages, expected with this type of paper, which is quite textured and has a durable feel. Odour is a little smokey, not the tobacco kind, no mould, just dust and attics and oldness. Rare in this almost complete original form, and issued in monthly parts on subscription between 1814 and 1818, a publisher's delay extending the end date. "The Holy Bible, including the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha, according to the Authorized Version; with notes explanatory and practical. . The marginal references are added together with appropriate introductions, tables, and indexes; also with maps drawn for this work by Arrowsmith; and with plans and copper-plate engravings by the best artists. The whole intended to form a family Bible for general use. Arranged under the sanction of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge." Size: 4to. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers L22213
