Hardbound
1797 · New York
by Scott, Job
New York: Isaac Collins, 1797. Hardbound. Tight binding with general foxing; with names of (apparently) three generations of owners of the book. Some leaves are fragile and worn. This book was read and appreciated.. Goatskin (?) covered boards, laced together with rough string in side covers; 360 pp. with no illustrations. Very interesting reading; diaries of Job Scott, about people with whom he met, his itinerant preaching, meetings he attended in England, Europe, and the United States, his travels by sea (that mention one trip from Boston to Paris by way of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland), and much more.
