Description
1782 Isaac Collins New TestamentRare [one of two exsisting copies] The first New Testament issued in New Jersey was a 1779 Trenton edition also from Isaac Collins' press (Evans 43605). Hills also lists a 1780 printing by Collins (based on an unconfirmed reference in Nelson's Check-List of the Issues of the Press in New Jersey). No copy has been located. Thus, the present is probably the second New Testament with a New Jersey imprint. Trenton, the site of one of Washington's key early victories, remained in American hands during the remainder of the war. This copy is larger than the single copy recorded by Hills at Yale. Not in Evans, Bristol, OCLC. Hills 13; Nelson a1788.
