Meadors Bible
The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ
translated out of the Original Greek. Philadelphia,
M. Carey, 1816.
This Bible is in fair condition. Usually the binding is
in worse condition than the pages, but the opposite is
true here. The binding is in pretty good shape. It is
the original binding, with the boards detached (by me)
and a fair amount of leather loss and rubbing.
The pages within are a different matter. The first fully
intact page is chapter VII of Genesis, with all previous
pages absent or mutilated. All other pages in the book
appear sound, with the exception of the all-important
family pages. The first page is nearly gone, and the
second is torn badly. The first page also shows scratching
out of a name.

Please view these scans carefully before using this
information. It is very difficult to determine the
Meador/Meadors/Meadows usage.
