1873 Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible | Full Leather Family Bible with Steel Engravings & Maps

Published in 1873, this impressive Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible is both a biblical reference work and a beautifully crafted Victorian family Bible. Bound in full leather with decorative gilt stamping and all gilt page edges, it was designed to be displayed with pride while serving as a daily study companion.

Compiled by Roswell D. Hitchcock, this substantial volume contains the complete Old and New Testaments accompanied by detailed scriptural analysis, Cruden's Concordance, steel-engraved illustrations, and a folding color map. The organization and reference system made it one of the premier biblical study books of the late nineteenth century.

Adding another layer of history, this example retains Byers family records dating from the 1870s through the mid-1900s, preserving generations of family history within its pages.

The condition is remarkably well preserved for a book over 150 years old. The full leather binding remains secure with firm hinges and an intact spine. Gilt decoration remains visible on the covers, spine, and page edges. A small stain is present on the title page, but the remainder of the interior is clean, complete, and highly legible.

Whether displayed on a library table, incorporated into a collection of Victorian books, or treasured by a collector of religious history, this is a substantial and impressive nineteenth-century Bible that embodies both craftsmanship and family heritage.
