BIBLE. The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the Original Tongues: and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Trenton: Isaac Collins, 1793 [i.e., 1794]. Thick 8vo. [1118] p. Contemporary stenciled paneled sheep. Front cover detached, rear held by cords, spine ends chipped, else a very nice copy, with only light foxing. Nineteenth century Hauxhurst family records.
The second Bible printed in New Jersey, following Collins's quarto Bible of 1791, and a very scarce book (unlike the quarto). In nearly 50 years of specializing in early New Jersey printing, we have handled only six copies of this Bible, and nearly all have all been in rough condition. Other than the broken hinges, this one is unusually nice.. Evans 25171, 26666; Felcone, Printing in New Jersey, 683; Hills 43; ESTC W4510. (Inventory #: 10495)
