Leather over boards. Zustand: As described. Hardcover full calf leather over boards. Large Folio. lxiii, 1368 pp. Illustrated with 47 engraved plates, including maps, frontispiece portrait of Rev. John Brown, and engraved title page. Marbled edges. Blind tooled decorative border on front and back boards. Dentelle edges. Black leather label with "Brown's Bible" pasted on the Spine. Ownership inscription on the front flyleaf "Alexander Stewart Headitoron of Cullen Gamerie May 5th 1852"). Pages lightly foxed and age toned, but generally bright. Occasional small ink mark. Spine and boards are worn, frayed, and bumped. The leather of the front hinge is cracked entirely. Front board still attached by the cords. This family bible saw a fair amount of use. A note on the provenance: this copy belonged to one Alexander Stewart, born 1808, based on the signature and the filled in family register. Mr. Stewart's inscription is a little tricky to place -- Cullen is a village and Gamrie a parish both located in Banffshire, Scotland (though Gamrie now is apart of Aberdeenshire), but they are geographically separate. The name "Headitoron" is also a mystery -- it is possibly a variation on the Scots spelling of Haddington (Haidintoun), but it is not clear if this was part of Mr. Stewart's name or some title or position he held. The word does not appear again in the family register. Included in this copy is a tipped-in engraved portrait of Robert Burns from the Banffshire Journal (January 25th, 1859) commemorating the centennial of the poet's birth. No edition marks. Possible Second or third edition by this publisher.

Coldstream: printed by Robert Kerr, for the Scottish Free Bible Press Company, 1846. The first few leaves are a little creased and there is some light foxing. It is an impressive volume presumably bound in Newcastle. Margaret Priestman (1817-1905) was the second daughter of Jonathan Priestman, a prosperous Newcastle tanner and Quaker, and Rachel Bragg, a travelling minister in the Society of Friends and anti-slavery campaigner. They lived at Summerhill and her sister Elizabeth (1815-1841) married John Bright, while Anna-Maria (1828-1914) and Mary (1830-1914) remained unmarried and were active in the suffrage movement. Margaret married Daniel Wheeler in 1846, but he died two years later and in 1855 she married Arthur Tanner. On his death in 1869 she went to live with her sisters in Bristol, and this Bible would have passed to their niece Helen Priestman Bright, and to her son Roger Clark and grandson Stephen Clark.
