A Very Fine Example of a Mid-Nineteenth Century 'Bagster Velvet' Binding.<br/>Complete with the Original Elaborately Decorated 'Bagster' Vellum Case with Original Clasp<br/><br/>BIBLE IN ENGLISH. VELVET BINDING. The English Version of the Polyglot Bible; Containing the Old and New Testaments; with a copious and original selection of references to parallel and illustrative passages exhibited in a manner hitherto unattempted. & The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. London: Printed for Samuel Bagster ca. 1845.<br/><br/>Neat ink inscription at head of title-page "Presented to the Honble Mrs. Baptist Noel 1845."<br/><br/>Two volumes bound in one. Small octavo 6 3/8 x 4 inches; 162 x 102 mm. Printed on India Paper. x 586; ii 188 pp. Thirteen folding maps or plans some with colored outlines five folding.<br/><br/>Contemporary purple velvet binding ca. 1844 with gilt board edges and clasps stamped "Bagster" upper cover with gilt onlay engraved "Polyglot Bible / English Version". Purple velvet paste-downs with rectangular center panel of ivory watered silk matching end-leaves all edges gilt and gauffered. Housed in the original 'Bagster' ivory watered silk lined full vellum case with single gilt clasp stamped "Bagster". Covers decoratively stamped in gilt with onlays of red green and blue morocco. Spine with similar morocco onlays and red morocco label lettered in gilt. Small 1 38 inch split to top of front hinge vellum a little dusty otherwise near fine.<br/><br/>This charming little binding was presented to the wife of The Reverend The Honourable Baptist Wriothesley Noel 1798-1873. On 17 October 1826 Noel married Jane Baillie of Dochfour whose distinguished family was descended from John de Balliol founder of Balliol College Oxford. <br/><br/>We have seen several 'Bagster Bibles' in similar purple velvet bindings over the years - if they had a case it was a rather plain purple morocco - BUT - we have never seen a decorated vellum case as shown here.<br/><br/>Samuel Bagster 1772-1852 was educated at Northampton under the Rev. John Ryland and after serving an apprenticeship with William Otridge commenced business as a general bookseller on 19 April 1794 in the Strand where he remained until 1816. A few years before he left the rarity and consequent costliness of all 'Polyglot Bibles' gave him the idea of supplying a convenient and inexpensive edition. In 1816 Bagster brought out "The English version of the Polyglot Bible" with a preface by T. Chevalier in foolscap octavo size containing a selection of over 60000 parallel references mainly selected and all verified by himself. The book was extremely successful.
