Reed Bible
The Reed Family Bible that was passed down to me has been in
the family for years and years, have no date when it was published. This is
what I would like to know, a close date when the bible was published.
The Bible is leather bound with raised design and the designs are in gold, the
size of the Bible is 10in. wide and 13in. length and 6in. thick. In the Bible
there is a place for family albums, dates and birth records of the Reeds. And
on the maps that are in the Bible, "one Example is of Modern Egypt"
at the bottom in fine print is a name I think it is the publisher "W &
A.K. Johnston, Edinburgh and London. [Note: I cannot find anything on this publisher
in the Herbert "Historical Catalogue of Printed Bibles". It might
have just printed the engravings. TSC]
On the cover it has a brass clasp to keep the Bible closed. If anyone can give
me close date when the Bible was published would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you .......Bill Reed
