> I purchased three Swedish Bibles at an auction in Rhode Island.
> The first one, published in 1893, The Enberg-Holmberg Publishing
> Co.:s forlog., Chicago, is called "Biblisk Skattkammare Af P.A.
> AHLBERG." The name, Mr. Alexander BRUCE, is written on the
> inside cover, with the words "Juelhalsning fran forsamlinger
> 1824." I could find no papers or other names or dates inside.
>
> The second one, a two-volume set published in 1878, Stockholm.
> B. Balmquifts Uftiebolag., trudt hos U.L. Normans Boftrnderi-
> Uftiebolag, is called "Bibeln Med Forklaringar af Fjellstedt."
> The name Carl Johan BRUSE, and Pontiag, R.I., are written inside
> the front cover, as well as, the date "den 13 Oktober, 1881."
> Inside each volume is a poem, written in Swedish, cut out of the
> newspaper, no dates.
>
> I also bought two small books. One is entitled "The Pleasures of
> Life," by LUBBOCK. The name Ida G. STARIN and the date August
> 1894 are written on the inside cover. I could find no papers or
> other names or dates. The other book is entitled "The Pleasures
> of Memory," by Samuel ROGERS, published in London by Sampson
> LOW, MARSTON, LOW and SEARLE. A sticker on the inside cover
> reads "S. D. GALLAUDET." I could find no papers in this book,
> but there is a list of artists of the illustrations in the book:
> Samuel PALMER, J. D. WATSON, W. S. COLEMAN, Alfred COOPER, E. M.
> WIMPERIS, Charles GREEN, and J.W. KEYL. I hope these names can

The notice above came from a rootsweb letter today. Recall seeing
someone searching for Bruce surname.
The only surname mentioned that is mine is Watson and I don't have this
one in my data.


Warm regards,
