Description
This original page from a King James Bible is from a copy printed in Philadelphia in 1782, Robert Aitken's only edition of the first English Bible printed in America. The page measures about 6 inches by 4 inches, making the Bible small enough to fit into the pocket of a Continental Army soldier. The text on these two pages is from I Corinthians 7:1 to 8:7.
