Measures 8 1/2 " by 5 1/2 " by 1 1/4 " thick. In worn average condition. The front hard cover is 2 3/4 " detached at the top. The pages are all sound and in good order. Premium leather bound. Written by Rev. George Gilfillan. Published in New York by D. Appleton Company on Broadway. Goldsmith is the key feature of the group and opens with his most popular " the Deserted Village ". Goldsmith is also known for his play " She Stoops to Conquer " which is also mentioned. Oliver goldsmith is also the inventer of the Line " Goody Two Shoes ". Goldsmith was an underachiever for most of his life but did produce some good literary pieces from time to time. He was known to be a chronic gambler and drinker. He also had fine tastes for luxury items and clothes. Also known to be very jealous. I have seen early compilations like this well over $100 in many antique shops, but I believe that my price is more realistic. Price: $65.00 CDN

Published … Written by Thomas Clarkson, M.A. Mr. Clarkson was also a public figure in the early uprising and abolishment of the slave trade which led up to the Civil War in 1860. Published in New York City , 111 Water Street in 1806. Quakerism was a strict Brethren gathering much like the Plymouth Brethren. They associtaed themselves with much legalisms as interpreted from the Bible. All are touched upon such as what clothing to wear, what type of furniture to have and how meetings are to be conducted. Practically anything that was " fun " was forbidden , such as novels, dancing, gaming, gambling, types of music and practically everything else under the sun was included in that as well. The book is in sound very fine to excellent condition. The pages are still secured in the premium leather binding. The inner cover pages are spotted with age. Near the back some of the pages are water stained, but not badly. There is a small worm hole on the back cover. Overall I would give it a 7 / 10 on a survival rating scale. This is an extremely important and rare reference into the early church meetings of the people commonly known now as the " Quakers " . Superb and excellent and informative reading, NOT THE LEAST BIT BORING ....and very easy to read. Measures a nice 5 " by 8 " by 1 " thick and not very heavy. Price: $269.00 CDN
