The Inscription
in Thomas Rix's Bible
Gold-embossed on a
rectangular, leathery leaf firmly adhered to the inside front cover of
the Bible, the inscription expresses the feelings of Thomas' Wesleyan Methodist
Class upon his departure for Australia in January, 1853.
The inscription makes
reference to Genesis 31:49.
"And Mizpah; for he
said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another." |
