About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1900. This is a very rare edition published in 1900. Narrow 12mo size pictorial hardcover with bright gilt titles on spine and front cover; 160 pages. Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893) was an Episcopal clergyman and Rector at Boston's Trinity Church. Well known during his lifetime, he delivered a sermon at the funeral of United States President Abraham Lincoln. He was a requested speaker worldwide and delivered a sermon at Westminster Abbey. He was elected the sixth Bishop of Massachusetts in 1891 and served in that capacity until his death. Bishop Brooks is remembered in the Episcopal liturgical calendar on January 23. Several schools were named in his honor as was the Phillips Brooks House (now the Phillips Brooks House Association, a student volunteer association) at Harvard College, his alma mater. A statue of Brooks by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens is located outside Trinity Church in Boston. The author of several volumes of sermons, Brooks may be best known as the lyricist of the Christmas carol O Little Town of Bethlehem. This posthumously published book is designed in a daily meditation format starting with January first and going through to year end with a brief quotation for each day. The cover is done in a white or cream colored leatherette from the spine outward to midpoint with a smooth white panel over that. The back is plain and the front has a color illustration of a woman holding flowers and decorated with holly sprigs and berries. Our third photo shows the book under flash. Edgewear, bumped and worn head and heel of spine, worn bottom corners. Light colored covers have some wear and soil and there appears to be a watermark only on the top corner of back cover. The marks on the left side of cover are actually an absence or wear to "paint," not soil. Inscription on fep and a genealogical notation on inside front cover. Penciled notations on rear endpage, small spot on margin of inside back cover and rear endpage. Some tiny spots or light foxing on outside pages. Genealogists and family historians: the names referenced in the notation are William, Eliza and Gladys Dutton. . Pictorial Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
