This copy contains an extra front endpaper, watermarked. Paste-downs torn at hinges, also a tear in leaf with "Joshua" engraving and one page with clipped margin but no text loss. Dimensions a bit larger than those recorded in Adomeit. A near fine copy. (Adomeit A116). (2 1/8 by 1 7/8; 54x42mm.). (Thumb Bible).
