Subtitle: "Containing the Old and New Testaments; Together with a copious and original selection of references to parallel and illustrative passages, exhibited in a manner hitherto unattempted.”
Publisher: J.B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia
Date: 1849
Page Count: 256
Construction: Leather, Paper
Dimensions: 5 3/4” T x 4” W x 1 7/8” Thick
Condition: Good. Leather binding has wear consistent with age, especially along the spine including some minor splitting near the top corner. Paper edges are still visibly gilded and the impressed designs, paneling, and lettering to the leather binding are still legible. No pages appear to be missing, but a few fold-out maps or illustrations are torn/creased. Considering the age of this book, it is impressively in-tact. Please see photos.
Details: A polyglot is a book that contains side-by-side versions of the same text in several languages. This copy includes a handwritten poem on the first page that reads “When horror chills my soul with fear, And naught but gloom and dread appear, what is it that my mind can cheer, The Bible. When imperious doubts my thoughts perplex and mysteries my reason [vesc] where is the guide which then directs, The Bible”
