Rogerson Bible
The first pages of this Bible are missing up through a little
of
Genesis, including the general title page. The New Testament
title page reads as:
The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
Oxford, Clarendon Press, Samuel Collingwood and Co.
1830. Similar to Herbert 1766.
This Bible is in poor condition, with the front cover detached
and the rest of the binding very loose. The signatures appear
solid. There is some electrical tape across the spine holding
everything together, and I think the original spine is underneath.
There is little written genealogy, but a lot of ephemera in
the
pages -- locks of hair, clippings, fabric, crafts -- which I scanned
but did not transcribe.
Transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire,
