An edition of the KJV "carefully revised and amended by several Biblical scholars" was published in Philadelphia by J. B. Lippincott in 1842. The Biblical scholars included some Baptists such as David Bernard and A. C. Kendrick. In the preface, David Bernard wrote: “In the present work, nothing beyond a careful revision of the version of King James has been attempted; followed by such corrections as the interests of truth and the original text seemed to require.“ The 1842 edition also has a preface to the New Testament that was written by A. C. Kendrick that indicates that he was the editor of at least its N. T. The sixth edition published by a different publisher in 1847 had the title "Baptist Bible" on its binding. It would have been based on the same underlying Hebrew and Greek texts as the KJV.
