"The Pocket Paragraph Bible: the New Testament according to the Authorized Version, newly arranged in paragraphs and sections; with a preface, and marginal notes containing improved renderings of many words and passages, etc., also references to parallel and illustrative texts, chronological tables, and maps" (London, printed by Eyre and Spottiswoode for the Religious Tract Society, n.d., c.1890). 226pp (plus title and contents pages, preface, and twelve coloured maps), bound in black leather with gilt decoration to the spine and gilt page edges, and measuring approximately 11.4 x 16.8 x 1.5cm. A bookplate attached to the inside front cover reads: "Edward J. Freemantle. Prize. Examination A.D. 1892. Given by Francis Peek and the Religious Tract Society to the pupils who excelled in Biblical Knowledge in the London Board Schools". The binding is worn with scuffs and indentations, especially to the edges and spine; there is some discoloration to the pages with some patches of staining at the page edges at each end of the volume, together with a few other marks, together with slight wear to the gilt edging, although the pages are in good clean condition overall.
