Book of Common Prayer 1853 22 "The cuts harmonize perfectly with the type and this small tome is a triumph of printing as well as of illustration and typography" R. McLean Victorian Book Design 1972 p.12.For this book Mary Byfield 1795-1871 who spent most of her life working for the Chiswick Press cut over 100 wood blocks. These blocks many of great beauty were in the main based on early designs by Holbein Dürer Tory &c. copied from Queen Elizabeth's Book of Christian Prayers London 1581 and 1590 but they also included some based on contemporary designs by Charlotte Whittingham although to distinguish the old from the new is virtually impossible. This edition was afterwards reissued by other publishers. William Pickering [printed by C. Whittingham at the Chiswick Press] hardcover

Royal quarto 1310 pages contemporary blindstamped full sheep repaired joints and head and foot spine panels replaced and with new endpapers; The frontispiece has been tipped-in on the new endpaper; rear cover very scuffed foxing and spots throughout edgeworn a few minor marginal tears and chips some leaves imperfectly sewn in. The Family Record leaves have extensive handwritten notes of the families of Gen. Joseph Badger Jr. Signed by him of Gilmanton Belmont NH father of Gov. Wm. Badger 1834-36. & Charles Jacobs of Gilmanton. Isaiah Thomas whom Benjamin Franklin called 'the Baskerville of America' was one of the notable publishers during the early days of the Republic.He made every effort to ensure accuracy of the text by comparing some thirty different editions and having the text carefully examined by several clergymen and others who compared it with eight Bibles - Herbert 1353." The First Illustrated Bible printed in America is the 1791 folio Bible by Isaiah Thomas "The most sumptuous American Bible of the eighteenth century" : thus this quarto-sized version of that work is the Second Illustrated Bible printed in America and the first Royal Quarto Bible in English published in American both editions were announced as "completed" on the same date altho vol. 2 of the folio was still in progress. Rumball-Petre 172; Sabin 5173 variant; O'Callaghan pp. 40-42; Hills 30. Evans 23185 states that some copies were issued with no Concordance and 48 additional plates. This state however has only two copperplates as frontispieces of the 50 copperplate engravings from the folio edition plates 29 & 48 . Included are 200 pages of Tables Apocrypha and Family Records Index etc. The subscription price was $7 but half the price could be paid in wheat rye Indian corn butter or pork! It is believed that 1500 copies of each format were printed. "The two Thomas Bibles of 1791 were without doubt far in advance of any other publications of the same kind that had appeared in America in point of typography excellence of paper binding and general execution - Wright EARLY BIBLES OF AMERICA."
