Hubbed spine bears five raised bands ornamented and lettered in gilt. Ornamented in gilt along inside board edges. All edges gilt. Off white moire endpapers. Illustrated with twelve plate engravings, each with a protective leaf. Dark brown silk bookmark. Text is dual columened boxed in by a border. Scripture annotation is printed within the right and left margins. Family pages to record marriages, births, deaths and memoranda are included between The Apocrypha and the New Testament, and are unmarked/unfilled. Also included at the back is A Chronological Index to the Holy Bible; An Alphabetical Table of the Proper Names in the Old and New Testaments; Tables of Scripture Measures, Weights, and Coins with Appendix; A Concordance to the Old and New Testaments; The Psalms of David in Metre; and an Index of Meters. Very interestingly paginated throughout: viii, 9-16 pp. (Improved Comprehensive Helps to The Study of the Bible, Comprising an Introductory History) 9-880 pp. (Old Testament); 1-104 pp. (Apocrypha); [4](Family Records); 883-1145 pp., (New Testament); 837-848 pp., 637-638 pp., 44 pp., 36 pp. (Addenda). CONDITION: This Bible is lovely as it is solid. External cover shows light wear, particularly at the corners and edges. Front inner hinge is starting, but still well affixed. Leaves have gently toned with very little an only occasional foxing. Engravings are magnificent. Unmarked. A very lovely, very heavy Bible which could be passed down through generations.

Store description
Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
