==========================
The Isaac Collins Bible was the first Bible printed in New Jersey and was considered one of the most typographically accurate Bibles of its day, the second quarto King James Bible printed in America, the best known product of the eighteenth century New Jersey press. 

Collins, a Quaker printer, commissioned committees led by John Witherspoon to ensure the text's accuracy, resulting in a highly respected and typographically accurate edition that influenced later American family Bibles.

This 1791 Collins Bible is the first English language Bible printed in America that was also offered publically for sale in America.
Isaac Collins, in order to comply with the varying sentiments regarding the inclusion of the Apocrypha and marginal commentary, Collins provided subscribers to this edition the choice of including or excluding them in their personal copies.
This copy includes the Apocrypha
