Note 672 — Chapter XVI · JOSEPH JACKSON, 1763.

John William Pasham, originally of Bury St. Edmund’s, where he published the Bury Flying Weekly Journal. He removed to Blackfriars in London, where, in 1776, he published a beautiful pocket edition of the Bible in 24mo, which obtained the title of the Immaculate Bible, on account of the rarity of its errors. It had foot-notes, which could be cut off in the binding if required. Of this Bible, Lemoine says “it is spoiled by being dried in a kiln, which has entirely changed the colour of the paper; besides, the colour of the print is uneven, one side being darker than the other.” This Bible is said to have been printed in a house on Finchley Common. Mr. Pasham died Dec. 1783.
