My thanks to the proprietor who allowed me to photograph this Bible and the Moggridge Bible.
The Bible is about 8 by 14 inches or slightly larger, and is about three inches thick. I didn’t record how many pages.
The inscription is written in blue ink on a blank right-hand page before the title page.
The title page reads:
THE
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES, AND WITH THE FORMER
TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED,
BY HIS MAJESTY'S SPECIAL COMMAND.
