The Souldiers Pocket Bible of the 1643 edition of "The Souldiers Pocket Bible". The London copy was presented by George III to the British Museum. The only other 1643 copy known is found in the United States and was once owned by the prominent 19th-century book collector George Livermore. The work was reissued in 1693 under the title "The Christian Soldier's Penny Bible." The British Museum has the only 1693 copy known to exist. This version is similar to "The Souldiers Pocket Bible" except for changes to some of the "Headers" and minor alterations in the text. The latter reflect the King James Version
History of the Puritans under King James I Henry VIII (1535), and the second had been the Bishops' Bible, commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1568). In January 1604, King James I convened the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, who preferred the Geneva Bible. The King James version slowly took over the place of the Geneva Bible had among the Puritans. The KJV of the Bible translation is noted for its "majesty of style", and has been described as one of the most important books in English culture
