The John Y. Bristow Family Bible*
 

This is the Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, translated out of Original Greek and with the former translations diligently compared and revised, published by the American Bible Society, instituted in the year MDCCCXVI. It is a very thick volume, being about the average size of the family Bibles of the period. The front of the Bible has been torn entirely off, but the back is still intact, and is covered with fanct? brown leather. The print in the Bible is very easy to read.
