Fresh endpapers. Bright, elaborately decorated title page, colour frontispiece, accompanied with one coloured map, and nineteen additional full-colour plates depicting various Biblical scenes; all collated, and accounted for.

With the exception of a touch of chipping to the outer edges of the first, and last page the contents remain bright, clean, and unmarked. A most handsome presentation of one of the most popular Bibles to emerge in the Victorian era and by far the most consequential, and lasting work of the Rev. John Brown. The date of publication for this edition appears to be somewhat in dispute with sources listing it variously as being published as early as 1862 to as late as 1885; we believe the latter to be the most probable date of publication. Our offering corresponds most to OCLC #221664504, with no holdings of this title at the British Library at time of cataloguing.

(1782-1874) as a partnership with two others and was originally known as 'Blackie, Fullarton and Company'. It began printing in 1819 and was renamed 'Blackie and Son' in 1831, becoming a public limited company in 1890. The business had quarters at 16/18 William IV Street, Charing Cross, London and 17 Stanhope Street, Glasgow, Scotland, and opened offices in both Canada and India. The company ceased publishing in 1991. Blackie and Son initially published books sold by subscription, including religious texts and reference books. Later the firm published single volumes, particularly educational texts and children's books, taking advantage of compulsory education from 1870. Notable books from The Kennett Library, a graded series of classics retold for schools, include: Kidnapped, Little Women, Westward Ho!, The Black Arrow, Wuthering Heights and Ben-Hur. The firm published the many Flower Fairy books of Cicely Mary Barker beginning in 1923. In 1902, Walter Blackie commissioned the building of a new house on a plot at Helensburgh to the West of Glasgow. At the invitation of their illustrator Talwin Morris, the architect was his friend Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This house became Hill House, regarded as one of Mackintosh's finest works.
