The old Bible has the back cover off, but is otherwise well preserved.  The 
front board cover is also off, but with the Bible which contains the 
Apochrypha & was printed by M. Carey & Son Phila Pa in 1818.  The record is on 
two leaves fully covered but they are loose & were found in the book of Esdras 
Chap IX.  Evidently, they had been bound in at the end of the Apochrypha
