About This Item
CT: American Publishing Company, 1876. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Book has evidence of modest cover wear likely due to silverfish at some point in the past. Purchased at an auction in Smith's hometown of Glastonbury. The book came from a Hale home a short distance from where Julia and Abbey resided. Given the like new condition of the interior, I suspect this was one of fifty copies that was sold at auction when Julia sold the residence after marrying for the first time in her mid-eighties and moved to Hartford. In the world of bibles and the importance of women's rights, this book and this woman are at the top of the list. .
Reviews
On Sep 8 2022, a reader said:
As the work of a single translator, and a woman, this work is important in the history of the development of modern translations of the English Bible. It is a remarkable effort which although in some ways limited by her lack of expertise in the original languages is nevertheless worthy of note. Only 1000 copies were published in the first edition few of which remain. It has been republished recently by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
