Radcliff Bible
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
Philadelphia, John E. Potter, 1856. Nothing similar in
Hills.
This Bible is in horrible shape. Someone butchered a
binding repair, primitively stitching about 5 stitches
about 1.5 inches from the binding. It is a shame. I
surgically removed those stiches to prevent further
damage to the pages, so the Bible is once again disbound.
