Item description from seller

Oxford: T. Wright and W. Gill, 1774, Oxford Wright and Gill 12mo Edition. 12mo edition, 5 ½ inches tall in contemporary leather binding, unrestored. Gilt decoration to the spine and boards, no titles to the spine. Worn to extremities with some loss to the leather. Collated as follows: A to Ff in gatherings of 12, Gg in gathering of 6, Hh to Qq in gatherings of 12. The 12 pages in the T gathering are paginated as follows T to T4 followed by *S to *S4 followed by 4 unmarked [at the base of the page] pages. This seems to be a printing error, corrected by the '*S'. Job end at S12 [Chapter XXX verse 2] incorrectly. Psalms starts at T1 and goes to T4 [Psalm XXVI verse 5]; Job Chapter XXX verse 2 continues at the top of *S and continues to the end of Job at *S4; Psalms picks up again at the unmarked T8 [Chapter XXVI verse 6] and pagination recommences correctly. *Pages were often used to correct print setting or publishing errors. The Bible is complete. Unnumbered pages. Scarce volume, 11 in UK Libraries and 4 in North American Libraries. Approximately 5 ½ inches tall.
