Moderate wear to covers and edges, dampstain to frontispiece, clean and soud otherwise with sturdy binding. 'This analysis was first prepared by 'a wealthy currier of England,' Matthew Talbot, and published about 1800. The material was arranged by subject in thirty Books divided into chapters and sections, giving every verse in the Bible but once. The two indexes (one really a table of contents, the other alphabetical) were inadequate. A plagiarized edition was published in 1848 by an Englishman named Whowell as Analogy of the Old and New Testament Systematically Classified. In 1853 came Nathaniel West's revision of Talbot's work, in which there was little change except that West included twelve verses that Talbot had inadvertently omitted (making a total of 31,173) and added a Consulting Apparatus of nine tables and indexes ? a great labor but of considerable practical value. A. J. Johnson bought the plates of the 1853 West edition from Scribner & Co. and asked Fred B. Perkins to see what they needed for improvement. He found many typographical errors, and recommended a revision in view of more recent scholarship. The old plates were then scrapped and the Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary, New York, was employed to undertake a thorough revision. The work was completely recast, the Books reduced from thirty to twenty-seven, new indexes were provided, and Cruden's Concordance, newly set, was added. Mr. Perkins and the Rev. George W. Sheldon, of Union Theological, also aided in the work. As copy they used the recent text of the American Bible Society. In regard to the accuracy of that text, Mr. Perkins stated that he could find but one typographical error and that was a 'somewhat doubtful case of 'wrong font.'' More 'historical methods' were employed in this analysis, the division into chapters was by 'thoughts' rather than by verses, and cross references were used. The indexes and tables were reduced to four.' (Margaret Hills, The Bible In America, ?1868).

With a "New York Legal Department" rubber stamp on the front wrapper and extensive manuscript pencil annotations throughout, likely by a professional reader, regarding differences between the source novel by Thomas B.

Somehow he and his North African warlord friend (Orson Welles) make it to China, where they get involved with the court of Kubla Kahn. Nominated for an Academy Award.
