^{page 138 note 1} James did, however, possess Anglican books printed after 1672: a copy of the Authorized Version of the Bible (Cambridge, 1674) in the British Museum has a richly embroidered red velvet binding with his royal monogram (Fletcher, W. Y., English Bindings in the British Museum, London, 1895, pl. LIV)Google Scholar; but this was no doubt a presentation copy, like the ‘rich Bible’ which he was given at Oxford in 1687(Bindings in Cambridge Libraries, Cambridge, 1929, p. 153)Google Scholar.
