Holmes Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testament,
Boston, Printed for Thomas and Andrews by J. T. Buckingham,
1806. Hills #134.

This Bible is in very good condition. Binding is tight and
without damage, and the pages are in good condition as
well. There is some scuffing and such, but not surprising
considering its age. I do not see any missing pages.

I cannot tell where this family came from because of the
common names in this Bible. There is a newspaper
clipping within, a poem about Christ being a friend. I
am guessing that the difficult-to-make-out two-word phrase
on the last page is ber wick, or Berwick Maine, in York County.
Holmes was a surname there at that time, and it is close to
where the Bible was published. Naples is a town in nearby
Cumberland County, and is mentioned in the newspaper
clipping.
