Item description from seller

Thick quarto. 744, 138, 745-1010pp. Illustrated from engraved plates. Text printed in two columns with printed marginal notes. Contemporary run-marbled calf boards with gilt boarder, elaborate gilt decoration along the spine, and marbled endpapers. Boards and spine worn, white stains on the front board, the title page and front flyleaf have been torn out (hence no publisher info), rear hinge cracked and possibly lacking flyleaf, and scattered foxing throughout, else very good. The printed "Advertisement to the Stereotype Edition" is dated 1819, hence our estimated date of publication. The family record includes Hettie Gray Baker, born on July 12, 1881, the daughter of Josiah Baker and Lizzie Chipman. Baker was a pioneer for women in the film industry working as a screen writer and film editor, eventually becoming the production editor and censorship representative at Fox studios. She worked on a myriad of films, including adaptations of Jack London's novels. She also wrote books including *195 Cat Tales*. The Women Film Pioneers Project (Columbia University) states: "Hettie Gray Baker, who is as yet undiscovered by film historians, had a long and exceptional career in motion pictures. She was a writer of motion picture titles and scenarios; of library science, theatre, and fan magazine articles; and, later in life, of highly regarded books about cats . The range of her work, however, is not so surprising given that she was employed full-time for the motion picture industry from the early teens through the early 1950s . And in 1922, *Filmplay Journal* described her career as 'pioneerical,' calling her 'one of the most influential people in the production of the films.'" Hettie and her parents make up the final entries found in the Bible; much of it being written on slips of paper and pasted onto the pages (Hettie's death is not recorded). The record extends all the way back to John Baker and Thankful Paddock who were married in 1801, with many birth dates and death dates recorded, and several newspaper clippings pasted in. One clipping talks about the First Parish Brewster Unitarian Universalist church located in Brewster, Massachusetts (to which the family appears to have had a connection to via the Crosby family), one clipping reports the marriage of Hettie's parents, and the rest are obituaries which speak of Captain Judah P. Baker, Captain Bailey Foster, and Captain Frank Foster, among others. A pleasing example of an unusual American Bible with a unique binding and an interesting association.
