    The printing was modern, no Apocrypha and I don't remember where it was printed. Boston or Philadelphia maybe.

    I have it in protective storage. I checked it today, the exact printing date is 1739.

    I would have to say the most unusual Bible I own is the Ryrie Study Bible in the NKJV...haven't seen one of those in years...

    Where was this 1799 edition printed?
    Does it have modern spelling?

    I saw a 1799 KJV edition printed by Oxford Press at a library, and it still had some
    old spellings: "f" for some "s" in words
    such as "thofe," "fomewhat," "gofpel." This
    1799 Oxford refutes the KJV-only claim that all spelling in the KJV was updated by 1769.     </font>[/QUOTE]Actually. I believe those are "s"s - just shaped elongated.

    I am the proud ( [​IMG] ) owner of Joseph Smith's "Inspired Version" which is significantly different than most any other.
