On occasion I have run across statements online that Our Authorized Bible Vindicated by Benjamin G. Wilkinson was only copyrighted in England, but not in the United States.[i] This is not correct. It was copyrighted in England and the United States. I expect this may be a misreading of the copyright page of the original book.

[i] When I looked back to find and cite such a comment, I did not find anything. Perhaps this is just a comment I have heard made in discussion forums and groups rather than in print.
