Wallis Bible
The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments,
Philadelphia, Jesper Harding, 1850. Hills # 1417A.
This Bible is in fair condition, with the original boards, but
missing the spine and someone butchered a reattachment of
the covers. It does appear complete, with the original flyleaves.
It is my understanding from the LDS and other sites that
this family was from Douglas, Massachusetts.
There is a piece of old black machine lace in this Bible, and
a cheap paper napkin with some oriental people figured on
it.
