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".
