Includes:

Bradford, Amory H.: The Pilgrim in Old England. A review of the history, present condition, and outlook of the independent (congregational) churches in England. Fords, Howard, & Hulbert, New York, 1893. Publisher’s rust cloth, titles in gilt on spine, t.e.g., in the publisher’s printed paper dust-wrapper; pp. xvii, 344, [8] (ads). Previous owner name stamped on front pastedown, offsetting from jacket to endpapers, spot of ink to the rear free endpaper, but just about fine; jacket soiled, spine and flap edges quite toned, extremely minor chipping at the spine ends and corners. A nice copy.

Lyte, Henry Francis: Abide With Me. Lee and Shepard, Boston, 1878. Brown cloth blocked in black and gilt on upper board, titles in gilt on spine, a.e.g., brown clay-paper endpages, boards beveled, in the publisher’s printed paper dust-wrapper; unpaginated, illustrated throughout, printed rectos only. Faint dampstaining to the cloth, prelims and terminal, previous owner’s ink inscription dated 1877 on the ffep, else internally clean; jacket in two pieces, dampstained, loss at the edges and flap folds, large chunk out of the top of the front panel.

Potter, Henry C.; Williams, Alice L: Brilliants. Selected From the Writings of Henry C. Potter, D.D., LL.D. H. M. Caldwell Co, New York and Boston, 1893. Textured lavender cloth spine, color-printed paper-covered upper board, rear board cloth, illustrated end-papers, in the publisher’s printed paper dust-wrapper; pp. [2], [38], frontis, plates, and illustrated throughout with vignettes in text. Corners and spine tips chipped, rear board with soiling; jacket with small chips  at the ends and corners, tears along the front flaps.

Robertson, Eric: The Dreams of Christ and Other Verses. Mufid-I-Am Press, Lahore, 1891. Plain flexible cloth boards in the publisher’s french-fold printed paper dust-wrapper; pp. ii, 149, [3] (blanks), [1] (table of contents). Privately printed for the author, 1st and only edition. Rear pastedown detached from rear board, the glue has seeped through the cloth on both boards and through the endpapers, creating mottling on the exterior of the book and pastedowns; the print quality far exceeds the binding quality, resulting in clean bright pages with a nice bite from the type. The jacket is soiled, with some red staining to the front panel, chipping at the spine ends and corners; the verso shows further evidence of staining from the glue used in binding.

Talmage, T. Dewitt: Heavenly Recognition. Thomas Y. Crowell, New York, 1897. Textured cream paper-covered boards, titling and illustration in green and gilt on upper board, in the publisher’s printed paper dust-wrapper; pp. 29. Boards soiled/stained, signs of damp-staining in the gutter throughout; jacket with chipping at the spine ends and corners, soiled, scraped, dampstained.

 

Dust jackets poor to very good; volumes good to very good.
