A complete Bible with psalms (in the 1773 states metric version) issued by the Bible company established in 1680. The additional hymns bound with this copy are those compiled in the years 1803-1805. The fastenings are built up of several pieces. In both the clasps and the shield-shaped catchplates, the main plate is simply fluted. A decorated strip with palmettes has been attached to the main plate on the fore-edge side of the catchplates and both ends of the clasps, and a rosette on a square base has been attached on each side of the palmette strip, so that only three palmettes remain visible in each strip.
With minor water stains in the first few leaves, but still in very good condition. Binding also very good. A small Bible and psalmbook bound in blue velvet with Empire-style gold fastenings.
