This work is taken from the Pryor family Bible in the possession of Sherry Smith-Stanford.  I have written it exactly as it is in the Bible with no corrections for spelling, etc.  Hand written on the front cover is John Randlf Pryor Augus the 26th 1856.  This leads me to believe that the book may have belonged to John.
