Smith Bible
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
Philadelphia, John B. Perry, 1855. Hills # 1572.
This Bible is in fair condition. The Bible was rebound at one
point in a utilitarian binding. I can't quite place it -- it looks
like black contact paper placed over the original carved
binding, but that can't be it, because the inside covers look
too neat. No ephemera, just a few leaves.
