[This is the Bible translated into the Algonquian Indian tongue by John Eliot, "the apostle to the Indians." It is one of the 20 copies sent to England for presents. Mr. Wilberforce Eames describes it in his Bibliographical Notes on Eliot's Indian Bible (Washington, 1890) as an unusually large and fine copy, with many rough leaves. It remained in the original binding of dark blue morocco, gilt edges, and in the finest condition until after 1870, when it was rebound in olive [brown] levant gros-grained morocco by F. Bedford. Size of the leaf, 77% by 5 inches. With the diamond-shaped figure on the Indian New Testament title. As originally bound this copy did not contain the leaf of contents, and therefore was, like No. 17 of this list, described as a fifth variety. The leaf, however, was afterwards inserted from another copy, so that it conforms now with the description of the third variety." Collation: Title in English, leaf; Dedication to King Charles II., 2 leaves; Contents, I leaf (inlaid); Text, Genesis to Malachi, signatures A-L1111 in 4's; Mmmm m, 2 leaves; New Testament title in Indian, with the diamond-shaped type ornament in the centre, I leaf; Text, New Testament, A2-L and Aa-Xx in 4's, the last leaf blank; Psalms in Metre, A-N2 in 4's; "Rules," 1 leaf; blank leaf. This copy is of the third variety described by Eames, in which the Indian general title-page, the English New Testament title, and the Dedication of the New Testament were omitted. Catalogue.]
