Embossed Cloth
1859 · New York | Baltimore
by N[athan] C[ovington] Brooks
New York | Baltimore: A. S. Barnes | J. W. Bond & co, 1859. Early Printing. Embossed Cloth. Very Good binding. An early printing of this daily devotional manual, compiled by Nathan Brooks, who as not only a clergyman and education but also the founder, with J. E. Snograss, of the American Museum, which evolved from The North American Quarterly (not to be confused with Matthew Carey's journal of the same name). The publisher's brown embossed cloth binding has some minor loss to the cloth; it has titling in gold to the front board; pages have darkened. First published in 1851, it is uncommon even in this early printing. Very Good binding. (Inventory #: 281068)
