Kingsbury, Oliver Richmond compiler Hymns for Social Worship Selected from Watts, Doddridge, Newton, Cowper, Steele, and others
New York American Tract Society 1840 Hardcover Very Good+ 16mo
Contemporary (publisher's ?) black leather, decorative pattern stamped in blind on covers and spine, which has a simple title "SOCIAL HYMNS" lettered in gilt directly in the second panel. Minor rubbing to corners and edges, but tight, clean, unmarked and sound. This hymnal was compiled by O.R. Kingsbury [1809-1889]. Kingsbury held the copyright, under the date 1840, and there is a statement on this copy "Copy-right transferred to the American Tract Society."-- (verso of title page). Some cataloguers state that this American Tract Society edition has 468 pages. This is incorrect; while the numeral "469" appears at the upper corner of the verso of the last leaf, the enumeration refers to the number of hymns, rather than pages. There are faint initials in red on the rear paste down, and an abbreviation suggestinging "Maine." An attractive copy. ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings.
