What was the standard American KJV edition in the late 1700's and in the 1800's? Was it the first KJV edition printed in America in 1782 or was it the most commonly accepted edition of that day? Who determines what the accepted standard American KJV edition is?
KJV-only author Peter Ruckman seemed to accept the KJV edition printed by the American Bible Society as the standard edition when he wrote: "At this writing, it is the Standard Edition, Octavo Reference Bible of 1852, as established by Gardiner Spring, Thomas Cook, Samuel H. Turner, Edward Robinson, Thomas Vermilye, John McClintock, and Richard S. Storrs, Jr." (Differences in KJV Editions, p. 19).
