Bible English Scott Commentary
THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS; WITH ORIGINAL NOTES AND PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS .
London: Printed for Bellamy and Roberts 1792. Four volumes bound in six. Quarto. Contemporary unlettered calf marbled endsheets spines gilt. Plates and maps some folding. Institutional bookplate and early gift inscriptions hinges cracked but still holding spine ends chipped scattered foxing and tanning burn scar to lower board of first volume scrape to spine of sixth volume. Still a sound useful set amenable to cosmetics. First edition of Thomas Scott's edition of the English Bible first published in 174 weekly numbers spanning 1788-92. The enterprise contributed to the bankruptcy of the publisher and Scott was saddled with considerable debt but his commentary has been described as "the greatest theological performance of our age and country" - Sir James Stephen quoted by Herbert. The title calls for a Concordance and accompaniments which does not appear in this set -- according to Herbert it is usually the separate 3rd edition of Powell's 1792 concordance and was published as a separate accompaniment in quarto format and in 8vo both as standalones. Given the binding configuration of this set it usually appears in four volumes it is possible that this set was bound up from the parts issue. The New Testament is bound in two volumes with general title in 1st volume only and what usually appears as volume one is here present in two volumes with the general title in the first and the second beginning with Ruth. ESTC locates three sets: BL Newport Central and Washington State. HERBERT 1366. ESTC T95096. Printed for Bellamy and Roberts unknown books

PRIVATE ISSUE: NOT FOR PUBLICATION THE "REVISED ENGLISH" NEW TESTAMENT. OR MORE APPROPRIATELY THE NEW COVENANT . ALTERNATIVE TITLE-PAGE
London & New York: Samuel Bagster and Sons / James Pott and Co. 1904. xix14862pp. Octavo. Printed wrappers. A few pencil notes wrappers tanned at spine with shallow chips at spine ends; a good copy. A preliminary private version of Herbert 2136 with a special preface re: justification and methodology. The wrapper title asserts the text embodies "the Labours of Many Eminent English and Greek Scholars" and Herbert identifies the editors as Samuel Lloyd and George Washington Moon. The edition described in Herbert is "tentative" and has a different collation; an earlier partial proof appeared in 1902 see D&M 1348. COPAC locates two copies of the "tentative" edition and OCLC/Worldcat four but both come up empty for this "Private issue." A bibliographic and textual curiosity. HERBERT 2136ref. Samuel Bagster and Sons / James Pott and Co. unknown books
