The Holy Bible (Barritt) 1844 refers to an edition of the Bible published in 1844, possibly associated with the work of William Barritt, a 19th-century printer or publisher. While specific details about this edition are scarce, it likely followed the King James Version (KJV) or another widely accepted English translation of the time.
