Browne Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments.
Harding's Fine Edition, Philadelphia, Jesper Harding and
Son. 1858. Hills #1671.

This Bible is the cousin to my favorite late 19th century Bible,
Harding's Superfine Edition (although I like the Royal edition,
too). This Bible is in great condition, except for one major
point: it has no binding or spine. Someone rebound another
Harding's Bible with this one's binding. I know this with some
certainty, because this one has an extra engraving from opposite
the title page that it should not have. It has all its pages, including
flyleaves and the are tight in their signatures.
