About This Item
Raleigh, N.C.: Edwards, Broughton, & Co., [1881 or 1882]. 63 pages. Ads included in pagination (pp. 59-63). Original printed wraps. 23 x 15 cm. Spine chipped and showing light evidence of glue repair, front wrap nearly detached, a number of shallow chips to wraps not affecting printed matter. A few corners creased or chipped. Fair to good only. Second edition. We have also seen the first edition of this number. The main body of the text appears to be the same in both editions, however, the second edition has some changes in layout and fewer adds. While the first edition was almost certainly printed in 1881, demand for the second edition may not have arisen until the new year. This almanac has been praised for "collecting and preserving much valuable biographical and historical data concerning the denomination." --Dictionary of N.C. Biography (entry for Bailey). In addition to the usual almanac fare, there is "A Brief Sketch of Baptist History in North Carolina," several biographical sketches (including one of Washington Manly Wingate by Rev. Ivey), and articles on the Western Convention of N.C. Baptists, Judah College, "Colored Baptists," Shaw University, Wake Forest College, and the history of the First Baptist Church of Raleigh. There is also a list of the ordained ministers in the state with African American ministers identified in a separate series. The ads include those of local businesses and a two-page notice for Wake Forest College. The editor, Christopher Thomas Bailey (1835-1895), was a Baptist pastor and, from 1875, the editor of the influential Baptist weekly, the "Biblical Recorder." He also served president of the Baptist State Convention and as a trustee of Wake Forest College.
