Darlow & Moule (1903 ed.) 249; ESTC S122066.

Third folio edition of the King James Bible, 'easily distinguishable from the other large folio editions by its smaller type' (Darlow & Moule). This edition contains the reading 'and she went into the city' at Ruth III 15, as in the 'Great She Bible', but the reading of Judas for Jesus at Matthew XXVI 36 has been corrected.
