Description
Not just a religious text but a lovely antique book estimated from at the very latest the 1830s. A Guide for Young Disciples of the Holy Savior on Their Way to Immortality by Rev. J.G. Pike was published by the American Tract Society and is still in it's original leather binding. There are numerous previous owner signatures (likely passed down through family and friends) with the earliest one being dated June 30th 1839. The publisher, American Tract Society went by the address 150 Nassau Street starting in 1833 at which D. Fanshaw was the printer (marked on the title page). This places the likely publishing date at some time in the mid to late 1830s. As stated, there are numerous previous owner signatures on the endpaper and blank flyleaf pages. There is a fairly heavy amount of foxing throughout. The original tissueguard is present on the title page. Pages are free from markings. Hinges appear in great shape considering age but still show significant wear and should be treated with caution. External wear on the hinges is visible. Binding appears solid. There is rubwear and cracking of the exterior leather as well as what might be two small stains (one on rear panel and one on the spine). There is a prayer handwritten in the back of the book as well but was unsigned and undated. All in all, this is a beautiful antique book on early American religious philosophies that would be gorgeous on any collector's shelf.

A good copy of one of Robinsons lesser works that l would have passed over if not for the very reasonable price. It's just as described and it was well packaged. Quick response and shipping too.
