Comments This is a somewhat larger variant of the above. The Old Testament has 1435 pp and the New Testament has 399. Apparently the earliest copies appeared with the lone imprint of R. & T. Washbourne, with later copies adding Burns and Oates after the two companies merged circa 1920. Unlike the smaller edition, this states "Made and Printed in Great Britain" on the title page verso.
