Armstrong, Fanny L. The Children of the Bible
Nashville, Tenn Southern Methodist Publishing House, Printed for the Author 1880 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ 12mo
272 pages; Publisher's purple cloth, elaborate decorative stamping and lettering in black and gilt, pale yellow endpapers. This is a particularly interesting copy of the first edition of this children's book -- printed in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of the post-Civil War Reconstruction. This is the copyright deposit copy, with a blue-ink oval stamp on the title page: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS / COPYRIGHT / 1880 / City of Washington. The number "9082 82" is entered in pencil on the line supplied in the stamp, just about the 1880 date. Stamped over this official copyright accession stamp is the Surplus-Duplicate stamp of the Library of Congress (mid-20th century, in red ink). A slip of paper is tipped to the rear endpaper with a stamp reading "Y A C R 465." No other marks. A beautifully preserved copy; there is a faint fold to the corner of the front-free endpaper (no break or loss to the paper) and very faint sunning to the spine (much less than usual for purple, a notoriously fugitive color). This is now a rare book. OCLC number 31343825 locates only a single copy of this 1880 first edition -- [At the Harvard Divinity School Library, but it should be noted that Harvard's magnificent Hollis online catalogue now locates their copy in the Andover-Harvard Depository - categorized as a "Brittle Book," so one must question the current state of preservation of the Harvard copy. It should be noted that the copy offered here is very nearly fine, inside and out, with no signs of brittleness at all). OCLC locates two copies of a Nashville, 1881 reprint, and several more of a NY reprint (dating from approximately 1884). The Library of Congress has only electronic texts of this title, no physical copies of any of the three early editions. An interesting and important documentary copy of this book, which is luckily preserved in excellent condition.
