Published 1854, Boston by Massachusetts Sabbath School Society.
162 pages. Text in English. Wood engraved frontispiece.

Scarce book.

Publisher's decorative cloth binding, gilt title lettering & spine decorations, covers blind stamped in floral design.

Item is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding gently rubbed and age worn, light minor surface soiling, yet still remains overall clean and attractive as an object.

Text block paper is toned, small to moderate scattered spotting, any flaws of a minor type unworthy of specific mention.

Still attractive on the shelf. Item displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives.
