Full title: The universal Bible, containing the sacred text at large of the Old and New Testaments, with parallel scriptures : illustrated with notes critical and explanatory, selected from the best commentators, ancient and modern ; wherein mistakes in the present translation are corrected; difficult texts explained; sublime passages pointed out; the Gospel-meaning of the types and mysteries unfolded; seeming contradictions reconciled; and objections of Infidels obviated ; the whole intended and accomodated to the use and understanding of every Christian, and the benefit of all families.

This Bible was part of the Park-Mason family estate that was purchased by Gould Academy. It appears to have previously had one or more other owners.

Inscribed: "Thomas Haliday his Bible 1780."

A blank page near the beginning lists the names and dates of birth of many members of the Baird family.
