A-U6 W6 X-Z6 (Z6 verso blank). Text printed in two columns. 1 vols. 12mo. This rare edition of the New Testament, printed in 1794 at Boston for a consortium of booksellers, aimed to provide a distinctly American printed Bible as an alternative to the British printings being imported, and thus included the Great Seal of the United States prominently displayed on the title page. Thus suggesting that even at the dawn of the American republic, certain clauses of the Bill of Rights were subject to fluid interpretation. This is an early appearance of the Great Seal of the United States and is the only instance where it was used in conjunction with a patently religious work. Copies are recorded at AAS and Duke.
