Hotchkiss Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Teftaments,
Edinburgh, Mark and Charles Kerr, His Majesty's Printers.
MDCCXCI (that's 1791, to you and me). Herbert 1355.

This Bible is in fair condition, but is great for its age. The
back cover is present but loose, and the front cover is
attached (barely). The spine is almost intact, with some pieces
around the top and bottom loose.

I cannot tell if the heavily-damaged page (1 & 2, below) is
original to the Bible, or was inserted.

Per certain Internet records (unverified) this family is from New
Haven, Connecticut.
