Wilkes Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
American Bible Society, 1847. 55th Edition, 4" x 7"
or so.

This Bible is in pretty good shape. It has some severe
foxing in the front and back pages, but the rest of the
book has minor foxing. The binding is solid.

The handwriting here leaves a lot to be desired. Wow.
Please look at the scans. In most cases it resembled some
psychological genealogy blot test instead of handwriting.
