The New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Philadelphia. Mathew Carey. 1810.
This Bible is old and has some severe foxing. Information
above is from the New Testament title page; the Old
Testament page is missing. Has a LOT of wear, with page
corners fully rounded from use. Covers detached. Just
wear, though, no trauma.
Just to liven things up a bit, one family member was
scratched out.
Transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire,
tracy@stclaire.org.
Because of the heavy foxing, my transcript is likely
inaccurate. Please check the scans and judge for yourself.
