Webber Bible

This Bible looks to be late 18th century. Only the New Testament
title page remains, and it is damaged. The New Testament of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Translated Out of the Original Greek;
and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised,
By His Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be Read in Churches.
Edinburgh:

This Bible's poor condition comes from heavy and loving use, not abuse.
Each page shows constant study through many generations, and this is
very touching. The binding appears original, and the back cover remains
attached. The front cover is detached, and all pages until Exodus Chapter
11 are missing.

Pasted to the inside front cover is "a copy of the original family record",
which was copied in 1894. I originally rejoiced when I saw that, because
the family record on the reverse of the NT title page is almost obliterated.
After further examination, I question its accuracy. It may be a transcript
of another family record (although it follows the one in the middle of this
Bible closely) or it may have been carelessly copied, because some
obvious differences are apparent.

It is my understanding that the Georgetown referred to in this Bible is the
one in Maine (USA).
