************************
 
Spielmann 18 (recording a minor variant printed by ''Darton & Harvey, Gracechurch-Street, London'', with 15 plates): ''Very similar to the Newbery Bible [1780], but with some alterations. The preface, for example, starts with the words: ''It is not a very pleasant reflection'', instead of ''It is a melancholy reflection''. The illustrations, based on the same design [as the Newbery Bible], have been re-engraved and are much better than the Newbery ones, both in quality and design''. Bondy, page 34.
