DESCRIPTION I have a very scarce, perhaps unique, Holy Bible published in 1762. It is THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS; NEWLY TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES, AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED, BY HIS MAJESTY'S SPECIAL COMMAND. APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES"  The Holy Bible. 2 volumes in 1. (Old and New Testaments) 2 engraved frontispieces and 2 additional titles. Illustrated throughout by 204 images (4 to a page) and 6 folding engraved maps. Volume Two Also has a Title Page Dated 1762. Complete textually (pages unnumbered) and as far as I can see, in terms of the illustrations. Nothing appears to be missing and with the additional frontises and titles, the book appears to be a unique configuration. Certainly no other copy in this configuration can be found. A copy of this book in 2 volumes is currently advertised at $18500 on ABE. BOOK DETAILS [Herbert 1143], 4to, Cambridge, Printed by Joseph Bentham Printer to the University; Sold by Benjamin Dod, 1762.

The 'standard' edition prepared by Dr. F.S. Paris, of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and H. Therold, fellow of Magdalene. In this Bible a serious attempt was made to correct the text of King James’s version by amending the spelling and punctuation, unifying and extending the use of italics, and removing printers' errors. This book has marginal annotations, which had been growing in some Bibles since 1660, although excluded from others, were finally received into the place they have occupied ever since, sundry new ones being added. Lloyd's dates and chronological notes were also adopted and increased, and the marginal references were much enlarged." - Herbert.

Apart from its extreme foundational importance this is an extremely rare Bible; according to Darlow and Moule ' . Copies are very scarce; Only six (6) "FOLIO" two-volume Sets are said to have survived a fire at Benjamin Dod's warehouse' (The Bookseller who had exclusive rights to the whole printing). This however, is the Two Volume in 1 Quarto Printing but still exceptionally rare and scarce.

EXTERNALLY: The book is bound in contemporary panelled calf, slightly rubbed, and, oddly, is jacketed in the remains of a vellum indenture, torn and soiled. This concerns Anthony Brown (see below) and is probably 18th Century. This has not been removed entirely as it is well stuck down so the front panel is hidden beneath the vellum. However the rear part of the vellum has come away revealing a very nice clean rear panel. The spine appears to be in good order under the vellum with almost all the leather intact. The front panel from observation with a torch seems to be in very good, if dusty, order and should polish up as well as the rear panel. The leather edges are marked and through to the board beneath in a few places but overall this book, once the vellum is carefully removed should be a very respectable, clean and attractive copy. The hinges are cracked but it is a sound tight copy for such a heavy book weighing almost 5kg.

INTERNALLY: Foxed and browned in places more or less throughout, but only heavily adjacent to a plate (this is very common). On the free endpapers and recto of first frontispiece, are family notes. 2 ¾ pages in all. These notes date back to 1796 and appear to be largely in one hand with the latest date about 1879 so they were clearly written up later. There are also a few added pencilled inscriptions by way of addition or correction.

The images are complete and depict biblical scenes and mostly free of browning and spotting. Where there is browning etc, it rarely encroaches on the images.

The maps are creased and torn but all are complete and with a backing sheet, they could easily be restored. Unfortunately they have been badly folded into this very heavy book over the centuries and do really need to be removed, reinforced and smoothed out and then reinserted. All of them are worth such restoration. All are about 18x14 inches or 460x355mm.
The first map is `A map of the sacred Geography … (effectively the Holy Land.) ’ This has a tear of about 4 inches but is easily repairable and is clean throughout.
The second map is `A map shewing Paradice …’ Again about a 3 inch tear and clean.
The third map is of Jerusalem with 12 tableaux around it. Quite badly torn and crumpled but complete.
The fourth map (in the second volume, the New Testament) is of the Holy Land and Israel. A little crumpling and foxing but otherwise clean and restorable.
The fifth map is of the `Land of Canaan as travelled over by Jesus Christ.’ Again crumpled and with a couple of tears but clean and complete.
The sixth and final map is `A Map shewing the most remarkable places to which the Apostles Travel’d.’ (Includes also St Paul’s Travels).

This is the family bible of the BROWN family, of East London who were baptized at St Magnus the Martyr, London and mostly buried at Norwood Cemetery. Numerous genealogies on the flyleaves as follows:

The family which owned this bible were originaly called `Brown’ living in England and the family history is outlined over the next 80 years or so. So the first inscription reads: `Anthony and Elizabeth Brown married Monday the 25th July 1796 at the Parish Church of St John, Hackney (conceivably Barking?). Elizabeth Brown died Thursday 31st January 1805 at 4 o’clock AM in the 31st year of her age.’ It goes on to say she was buried at St Magnus the Martyr Church, London Bridge. Her husband, Anthony, lived on to 15th May 1853 and died at Clapham Rise (London) aged 73. He was buried at Norwood Cemetery.
The first daughter of the above union was Ann GOOD, (presumably her married name) born 26th May 1798 and was christened at St Matthew Parish Church, Bethnal Green. She died on 11th January 1870 and was buried at the family vault again at Norwood Cemetery.
The second daughter was Elizabeth born 6th August 1800, baptised at St Magnus the Martyr. She married on 4th September 1856 at St Marks, Kenngington, London to Edward DALTON of Dunkirk House, Nailsworth, Glucestershire. He, or perhaps Elizabeth appears to have died in June 1875 and was buried in the family vault (not sure where).
A third child, a son was also born called Charles Anthony was born on 27 April 1802 and was also baptised at St Magnus the Martyr. He died on 22 April 1827 and was buried at the parish church of Swinnerton in the county of Stafford.
Anthony Brown who had been widowed in 1805 then appears to have married again to Sarah CURLING. This was on 28 January 1806 at St George’s Church, Botolph Lane, London. He is then listed as dying on 15 May 1853 aged 73. Buried at Norwood cemetery.
His second wife, Sarah (above) died on 22 April 1858 aged 73 and was also buried at Norwood.
The first child of this second marriage was Anthony, born 4th January 1807. Baptised at Eastcheap by Rev John Clayton. He appears to have died on 21 January 1833 aged 26. Buried at St Magnus the Martyr. His body apars to have been removed on 23 April 1853 at the direction of his father.
The second child of this second marriage was William, born 2nd February 1809. He died aged 2.
A third child, Sarah was born but died within days.
A fourth child, William, was born on 2 October 1811. He married on 30 April 1840 at St Georges, Bloomsbury. His wife was Mary FRESHFIELD, daughter of Frderick Benjamin Freshfield and Emma King. Mary Freshfield died on 4 June 1891 and was buried at Norwood.
A fifth child, Sarah was born 5th May 1814. She married 29th Aoril 1841 to George Frederick WHITE, son of John Bazley and Henrietta White. One of these died on 3 May 1879 and was buried at Brompton Cemetery.
There was a sixth child, Mary, born 11 March 1816. She died aged 11 and her remains were also removed from St Magnus and taken to the family vault at Norwood.

THAT CONCLUDES THE HISTORY OF THE OWNERS OF THIS FAMILY BIBLE. HOWEVER IN ADDITION, THERE IS PART OF A BURIAL FORM RELATING TO THOMAS WAGHORN OF NEWINGTON BUTTS. HE WAS BURIED ON FEBRUARY 21, 1814 AGED 89. I have saved the 50 images of this bible.

Two page parchment document dated 1871: Caroline Harris, wife of William Harris sworn at Bedford Row, Middlesex regarding property in Great Marlow Includes a 'Common Law Courts' Five Shillings blue embossed paper seal with metallic centre. Other names mentioned in this document are Henry Plumridge, William Plumridge, William Johnson, Henry Judge, Amelia Judge, Edward James Flint, Ellen Flint, James Plumridge, William Lakin Ward, Charlotte Way, John McMillin, George Becke & James Batting. Certificate of acknowledgement of a deed by a married woman This is a guaranteed genuine Victorian parchment document consisting of at least two pages. 

These certificates were introduced as part of the Fines and Recoveries Act of 1833.  Their purpose was to ensure that, where a married woman was selling or mortgaging property jointly with her husband, she was of full age and completely understood what was taking place.  Given that any property belonging to a woman automatically passed to her husband upon marriage, I am not convinced that this would have made any difference but, apparently, common law required her to be a party to any deed and these acknowledgements were intended to prevent the husband from abusing his position in those cases where he inherited property through his marriage.  Although votes for women were still some way off, the Married Women’s Property Act of 1882 gave them the same rights over their own property as if they had been single or widowed.
