Item description from seller

Hardcover, approximately 4x6 inches, original black blindstamped decorative cloth with stamped gilt decorative spine, 42 pp + 26 pp + 49 pp, illustrated with 2 plates; very good. Corners bumped, a bit shelf scuffed, a 2 inch area of 1/8th inch drop marks on rear board, a few approximately 1/4 inch nicks on spine. Internally, previous owner's signature dated 1850 (in pencil) , lower corner of a few leaves creeased, some moderate foxing, otherwise tight, clean, paper crisp, unmarked; probably never really read. Three different supposedly true stories; "Spoiled Child" a didactic tale about the son of rich parents who eventually winds up an indebted alcoholic brute; "David Baldwin" concerns the son of a miller in Kings County (Brooklyn) , NY, who was corrupted by reading Voltaire, Thomas Paine, Edward Gibbon, David Hume, etc. , but returned to religion on his death bed; includes a testimony from his physician, Adrian Vanderveer, dated 1833 in Flatbush; "Widow" is another deathbed conversion, in which the widow of an unnamed general who died in 1817 and who had been turned from religion by reading "The Age of Reason", is convinced of the truth of the Bible and Christianity (with some interspersed anti-Catholicism) , and dies a believer. Religion; Christian; biography; Victorian.

Description de la boutique

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!
