History
This was one of the last Bibles the company published, because it dissolved in 1900, after only about twelve (12) years of existence (1888-1900, as best as I can determine). Why did it dissolve? In part because of a lawsuit filed against the company by none other than England’s Oxford University, which claimed copyright infringement for another Bible it published with the title, “Holy Bible, Oxford S.S. Teacher’s Edition”. The damages were placed at $10,000 (I found this information at this website). If you do a search on this Bible, you will discover that it was later published under the same name by Henry F. Giere (New York, 1909-10) and by Funk & Wagnall’s Co. (1918), but we have the edition produced by the original publisher, and that just before it ceased to exist.

Re: Wilmore's New Analytical Reference Bible: The Holy Bible,...
I have a friend that has a Wilmore 1893 Analytical Reference Bible and I'm trying to find out information on it. Looking for History and appraisal guidance. Cover is in very good condition considering the age. Not attached. Bible is intack with 99.9% of the pages. Looks like some of the page borders have had some treatment. Website to get information on history and where to send pictures of bible. Thanks Robert
