The New York Sun recounts the long disputed 1732 Boston edition printed by Kneeland & Green and forged to imitate Mark Baskett’s London imprint. The rare Bible, unearthed in McKee’s collection after years of secrecy, sparked debate on authenticity and the imprint’s true origin, with Bancroft previously doubting its legitimacy.
