1880 The Devotional Family Bible - Massive 2 Volume Set
The Devotional Family Bible with Practical and Experimental Reflections on Each Verse of the Old and New Testament, and Rich Marginal References. London & New York: George Virtue circa 1880. 2 volume set. Very rare set of books. These are two of the most elaborate bible books we have seen. Full leather or heavy green pebble board cloth hardbacks w/ gold gilt and gold gilt to page ends. Covers are still very attractive. Partial seperation of boards at hinges which needs reinforced. Internally tightly bound with only some foxing on a few pages. Tatter along the edges of title and a couple other pages of volume 1. Crease down the center of the spine of volume 2 that seems stable (may have been repaired at some point professionally on that cover). The Devotional Family Bible by Alexander Fletcher is a comprehensive work that includes the Old and New Testaments. It features practical and experimental reflections on each verse, along with rich marginal references and readings. This Bible is designed to provide deeper insights and reflections for families engaging in devotional practices. It is bound in leather and often comes in two volumes, covering Genesis through Job in one and Psalms through Malachi and the New Testament in the other.
