This work features an illustrated title page, general title page, and individual title page for the New Testament. Collated, illustrated with four large folding maps, and 132 plates.The final work here is a 1770 edition of 'The Whole book of Psalms, Collected into English Metre'.With the collation: [8] A-N4; A2, A-5K4, +A-2+A4, 5L-6Y4, 6Z3; A-G4ESTC reference for the Book of Common Prayer: N66721; ESTC reference for the Holy Bible T183597; ESTC reference for the Psalms: T231352To the front pastedown is an armorial bookplate with the words 'Fortune Favours the Bold' in Latin, and a contemporary owner's inscription of Thomas Inigo Wickham Freeman, 'born Sept 2nd 1794'.
