New York, New York: American Tract Society, 1843. Edge and corner wear; scuffed and scratched; no dj; corners are bumped and rubbed; front board is discolored; lower portion of the rear of the spine is split as well as some heavy wear to the upper portion of the front of the spine; foxing; liquid stain on the outer portion of the last few pages (does not affect readability); overall still a nice collectible used copy! Brown cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. 438 historical and informative pages! "Mankind take an interest in the history of those who, like themselves, have encountered the trials and discharged the duties of life. Too often, however, publicity is given to the lives of men splendid in acts of mighty mischief, in whom the secret exercises of the heart would not bear a scrutiny. The memoirs are comparatively few of those engaged in the humble and useful walks of active benevolence, where the breathings of the soul would display a character much to be admired, and more to be imitated..........." ------- from Chapter I (Life of Mrs. Isabella Graham)... Revised Edition. Brown Cloth. Fair/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardcover.
