The inside pages of the Bible are 9 by 11 3/4 inches and
it is 3 inches thick. The covers are very thick, heavily
tooled leather.
The family records are recorded on a marriage certificate
and a "Family Record" page (one of three or four provided),
situated between the Apocrypha and The New Testament.
These pages are printed in brilliant red and blue, with
many scrolls, etc. Each page is divided into five columns
with appropriate headings.
Partial transcript of the title page is:

COMPLETE
DOMESTIC BIBLE

There is no publishing date, but very small print at the
bottom of each Family Record page indicates a New York
printer with a date of (I think) 1873 or 1874.
