Chicago: Buzzacott Publishing Co. / Fidelity Publishing House, 1909. Hardcover. Good. Red cloth hardcover, no statement of edition. A good copy but with wear to the cover edges and bending to the corner tips and spine ends. Some soiling and stained spots to the cloth covers and the gilt lettering is brighter in some spots than others. Small tear to the cloth at the upper front joint, and mild fraying at the corner tips. Interior is much better. Previous owner's name and date neatly to the front free-endpaper, binding and hinges are solid though lacking tightness. Pages are age-toned, but clean and unmarked. 613 pp., black and white plates throughout. A strange mix of travel, history, and Biblical creationism.

Berlin, 1843. Fair. Original 1843 printing, text in German. 16 pages with no covers or boards, tape bound at the spine. Ex-Library from two seminary libraries with a stamp to the front indicating withdrawal, and a rear stamp with the library collection written in black ink. Heavily warn and soiled on the outward facing pages with crinkling and staining resulting from the lack of covers. Minor foxing. The corners and edges of the pages are worn, with paper loss at the top of the last pages, not impacting the text. Last few pages are dog-eared. The paper is clothlike and a bit limp. Translated loosely to English, this piece is the "Sermon at the ceremonial funeral of our immortal reformer Dr. Martin Luther's held on February 22, 1546 in the Castle Church in Wittenberg by Bugenhagen."
