Item description from seller

No date but believed to be c. 1885. FULL TITLE: 'The Self-Interpreting Family Bible containing the Old & New Testaments to which are annexed marginal references & an exact summary of the several books. A paraphrase on the most obscure or important parts, explanatory notes, evangelical reflections etc. by the late Rev. John Brown, Minister of the Gospel of Haddington, with many additional references and a life of the author.' FAMILY REGISTER: An 8 page decorative section, inserted after the second title page which includes 4 page 'Family Portrait Gallery where no pictures have been inserted. Surnames show 'How' and 'Carver'. An overview of the Carver family from 1885 to 1991 has been compiled by a descendant and is tucked in the bible. PAGES, with bright gilt edges: xiiii page section 'The Life of Rev. John Brown' + xiv - lxxxii (Background to the Scriptures) + further sections 'Jewish Laws and Types', Geography and History of Nations' + 'Chronological Index of Scripture History etc' + 802 (Old Testament) + pages 802 to 1123 (New Testament) + 1124 to 1149 (Background information & Tables) + 104 page Concordance. Sections included at front and back include: 'An Introduction to the right understanding of the oracles of Giod' and a 23 page section titled 'Chronological Index of Scripture, History, etc.) ILLUSTRATIONS, all bright and clean: Colour plates: 16 full page colour plates, 10 of which have the name of the notable lithographer 'J M Kronheim' showing. This relates to Joseoh Martin Kronheim (1810 - 1896) who was a well known innovative lithographer. In addition there are 17 black and white full page plates, also with tissue guards which mainly show plants and animals. In addition there are 5 full page colour maps: All the maps and illustrations are in place and in very pleasing condition. There are 2 title pages, with one decorative. NOTES AND CROSS REFERENCES: The cross references are in two margins, one on each side of every page and the detailed notes on the text are at the base of each page. THE BRASS DECORATION: The original brass trim and two clasps on the front and rear boards are securely attached. The clasps close firmly. A bookbinder once advised me not to close the clasps on really heavy books as it puts stress over time on the binding. The brass surround on this bible is securely in place. CONDITION: The interior of this bible is especially good for its age, being bright and clean with no brown spotting and no inscriptions through the text. The pages are gilt edged. The original black morocco leather cover with tooled decoration and a banded spine is in very good condition with only a little rubbing at top and base of the spine. This bible has been kept carefully and any imperfections are testament to its long life and define its individual passage through time. WEIGHT: 5.686 kg unpackaged. Prompt, well packaged despatch. Sent with 'Royal Mail Tracked 48' within UK. Reasonable international rates. Cost to send to USA is c. £40.
