Item description from seller

Royal quarto, 1310 pages, contemporary blindstamped full sheep, repaired joints and head and foot spine panels replaced, and with new endpapers; The frontispiece has been tipped-in on the new endpaper; rear cover very scuffed, foxing and spots throughout, edgeworn,\ a few minor marginal tears and chips, some leaves imperfectly sewn in. The Family Record leaves have extensive, handwritten notes of the families of Gen. Joseph Badger, Jr. (Signed by him), of Gilmanton, Belmont, NH (father of Gov. Wm. Badger (1834-36). & Charles Jacobs of Gilmanton. Isaiah Thomas, whom Benjamin Franklin called 'the Baskerville of America', was one of the notable publishers during the early days of the Republic.He made every effort to ensure accuracy of the text by comparing some thirty different editions and having the text carefully examined by several clergymen and others, who compared it with eight Bibles - Herbert, 1353." The First Illustrated Bible printed in America is the 1791 folio Bible by Isaiah Thomas, "The most sumptuous American Bible of the eighteenth century" : thus, this quarto-sized version of that work is the Second Illustrated Bible printed in America, and the first Royal Quarto Bible in English published in American {both editions were announced as "completed" on the same date, altho vol. 2 of the folio was still in progress]. [ Rumball-Petre, 172; Sabin 5173 (variant); O'Callaghan pp. 40-42; Hills 30]. Evans 23185 states that some copies were issued with no Concordance and 48 additional plates. This state, however, has only two copperplates, as frontispieces ( of the 50 copperplate engravings from the folio edition [plates 29 & 48] ). Included are 200 pages of Tables, Apocrypha and Family Records, Index, , etc. The subscription price was $7, but half the price could be paid in wheat, rye, Indian corn, butter, or pork! It is believed that 1500 copies of each format were printed. "The two Thomas Bibles of 1791 were without doubt far in advance of any other publications of the same kind that had appeared in America in point of typography, excellence of paper, binding, and general execution - Wright, EARLY BIBLES OF AMERICA.".

Description de la boutique

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera.
