I have recently obtained a very old (1851) copy of the Greek New Testament.  
I 
cannot find in it any mention of which text was published.  Below the title 
on the title page, it reads:  JUXTA EXEMPLAR MILLIANUM.  The only non-TR 
texts of this time that I have been able to learn of are those of Lachmann, 
Tregels, and of Tischendorff.  Does anyone know of any verses that are 
rendered one way in, say, TR, and another way in a different text?  Or is 
there another way I could tell which text this is?

I have a Gk NT dated 1846 and published in Philadelphia by Perkins and 
Purves.  It likewise is "ad exemplar millianum."  The introduction states 
that it is the "Received Text, which was first published at Leyden, A.D. 1624 
by Elzevir, and republished in folio at Oxford, by Mill, A.D. 1707."  It also 
states that "The centre column contains, (1.) The emendations and select 
various readings, foundin in griesbach's Testament, published at Leipzic, in 
1805; (2.) The present tenses of all the most difficult verbs; (3.) The words 
supplied which are necessary to complete the sense; and (4.) Numerous 
references to passages in the Septuagint, Apocrypha, and New Testament, in 
which the same Greek word is found."  The book measures 3" X 4½" X  1¼".
