have bible in my possession, that was
brought into this country in 1866, by John
Gibbon; in 1908, Thomas Fairman appears
to be the owner-he then resided in, or
near Philadelphia; in 1887, Joseph Rose
appears to be the owner and IN 1904 1t was
willcd to me, by my mothcr-in-law, who
died in 1904, at the age OF clshty.--lhe BIZ
| BILE is in the old black letter, and was printed
! in 1885. The translator was I'm. 1indal,
who was burnt at the stake in Brebant, for
the translation, in the reign OF Henry the
9th lit is the only copy that know OF. The old
testament is from the Hebrew, and the new
testament from the Greek. There is nc
memorandum in it from the time 1t was
printcd until 1866, when il came to Ameri'
