Excerpt from Early Bibles of America: Being a Descriptive Account of Bibles Published in the United States, Mexico and CanadaMr. Wilberforce Eames, librarian of the Lenox Library, New York City, has assisted me several times, and to his courtesy I owe it that nearly all the facsimile title-pages used as illustrations were made from Bibles in the institution he represents. For information in regard to various parts of the book I return my thanks to Mr. Howard Edwards, and the Rev. Samuel F. Hotchkin, of Philadelphia, Mr. Ed mund M. Barton of the American Antiquarian Soci ety, Worcester, Mass, and Mr. J. Fletcher Williams, the former librarian of the Historical Society, St. Paul, Minn.The book in its enlarged condition I trust will not only be of interest to the general reader, but of service to the specialist and Bible collector.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
