Summary
Bibliographic description
Second edition. xxxii,360; [32] p. ; 18cm. Loosely inserted Christmas prayer card. Newspaper cutting announcing the death of Rev. Abel John Ram, Rector of Rolleston pasted in on upper flyleaf [he died in 1883]. Provenance: Inscribed on contents page: "Rolleston, June, 1876. 'Isabel' - from one who truly sympathizes with, & constantly prays for her. May this blessed book be blessed!" [Rev. Abel Ram appears to have been friends with Sir Oswald Mosley, 2nd Bt of Ancoats, whose seat was Rolleston Hall, near Burton upon Trent, therefore 'Isabel' could be Isabel Mosley, who died before 1914 and lived at Thornhill, near Derby]. Binding: Nineteenth-century publisher's full brown cloth, gilt centre-piece and gilt lettering on spine. Green endpapers and gilt-top. Spine cover damaged and upper board nearly fully detached.
