Biographical history
The British and Foreign Bible Society was founded in London, England in 1804 as a voluntary society to encourage wide circulation of the Bible. The first branches were established in Canada in 1812 and joined together in 1904 to form the Canadian Bible Society. In 1930 the name was changed to British and Foreign Bible Society in Canada. By the 1950s there were 16 branches in the country. For further information see The Bible in Canada / E.C. Woodley. -- Toronto : J.M. Dent, 1953.
