In a Preface, dated Sep. 15, 1803, it is stated that "Beside the many thousands of Bibles, of several sizes, which are annually imported, many large editions have been printed and sold in the United States within the last twelve years. This call for the Bible induced the Editor to undertake [this] quarto edition of it." A full account of this ed. is in O'Callagan's American Bibles (Albany, 1861, pp. 69, 70). The following, however, seems to have been unnoticed : -
Another, and later, edition (with the plates more worn) was issued with the same titlepage, except the addition of " Also, Brown's Concordance." This is added, with a titlepage, " A Brief Concordance to the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments: By which all, or most, of the principal Texts of Scripture may be

IN THE BIBLIOGRAPHY (p. 92) the writer stated that the productions of the press in the town after 1836 were for many years occasional pam- phlets, and the B. H. Aurora. In later years there were other news- papers (see p. 278), and Mr. Caleb Rand printed several handsome volumes. Meanwhile, for a considerable period, the productions were so small that there does not appear reason for giving them. Those that relate to the town are mentioned in the Bibliography (1880).
