Bell family Bible pages
The Bell family bible pages were removed from The Devotional Family Bible with Practical and Experimental Reflections on Each Verse of the Old and New Testament, and Rich Marginal References, published in London & New York by George Virtue, ca. 1850. The pages likely came from a Bible like this one.
