The Isaac Collins Bible was the first Bible printed in New Jersey and was considered one of the most typographically accurate Bibles of its day. Isaac Collins, a printer and bookseller, commissioned a series of committees led by John Witherspoon to correct his proof sheets in order to ensure the text was error free. According to some contemporary accounts, his children also checked for errors 11 more times. Collins printed around 5,000 copies, with some including the Apocrypha and commentary. Published shortly after the American Revolution, this copy includes Witherspoon’s address “To the Reader,” instead of the traditional dedication to King James, as in other King James Bibles. Due to its size, some historians also consider it one of the earliest American family Bibles.
