Ford Bible
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
stereotyped for the American Bible Society by D. & G.
Bruce, New York, 1824. Hills # 493. O"Callaghan page
166 #6.
This Bible is in kind of bad shape. The binding is original
but appears to have been repaired at some time. There are
pages and parts of pages missing within, at the front and back.
All of the content is intact. Many places were repaired with
scotch tape, which keeps me from scanning clearly in many
places.
It is difficult to determine in what order these entries were
written.
Please examine the scans and draw your own conclusions, as
the writing is ambiguous because of the handwriting & damage.
It looks like my transcribing is off, when you compare page one
to page three, but look at the scans and be the judge.
