Hidden Thoughts brought to Light: for the Increase of Knowledge, In Reading the Holy Bible (1805)
by John Axford

The printing of this work is poor, and the binding is such that on a number of pages text has been cropped from either the left- of right-hand side of the page. The majority of the missing text has been reconstructed by consulting the quoted biblical verses, reworking the financial calculations or by reference to another edition of the work on Wikisource (which also suffers from the same tight binding problem).
