Text is dual columned. Volume I is Genesis through Solomon's Song. Volume II is Isaiah through Revelation and includes Notes to the first volume and new testament in three columns at the back. Both volumes unpaginated. Each measures 15" tall x 11.75" wide. On a shelf, this set spans 5 inches. ESTC: T95048. Herbert 1399. <br><br>CONDITION: Cover shows overall wear and discoloration. Inner hinges have cracked, yet boards are firmly attached and the binding is solid. Volume I contains a full page of handwritten family records on the front flyleaf of the family of William Marriott (not ancestors of the hotel family) in dipped ink, the earliest date being 1807. Leaves have lightly toned with only occasional discoloration or marking. Engravings are magnificent. A lovely heirloom-quality set.
