This is an old family bible dating to 1886. It has the Old and New Testaments in parallel
columns, Birth record of the Cameron Family, signed Temperance Pledge which is
chromolithographed, and many , many fine engraved illustrations. It is in rather good
condition for its vintage with the exception of one torn page still included, and the
front and back covers have seperated from the spine lower right front and back, but are
still attached at the top. (This could be professionally restored, I think). Spine is
still tight, pressed flowers are scattered among the pages. The cover is, I believe,
tooled leather. Published by B. F. Johnson & Co Richmond, Va in the year 1886. The
birth page records births from 1851 to 1891. The Temperance page has three signatures.
Also includes section "Scenes & Incidents from the Life of Jesus", "The
Parables", and other writings. Great piece of Religious History!!
