Description
The cover is titled " A Manual of the Christian Life." The cover page is titled "A Manual of Prayers and A Guide to the Christian Life." It is the "Fifth Edition, Enlarged." Publisher is Richard McCauley of Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, PA. It looks like the book was first published in 1856, and this fifth edition is from around 1869 when the copyright was renewed. Rev. Morgan Dix (1827-1908) is listed on the cover page as the Rector of Trinity Church in New York City, New York. He was an Episcopal who authored several books about Christianity and religious life. He was a well-known author and theologian during his time. The book is inscribed in pencil: "George W. Gross from his friend (illegible) Chas. G. Gillriech Palm Sunday 1879." I am not sure "Gillriech" is actually correct. See photo. These two friends lived in or near Orwigsburg, Pottsville and Philadelphia, PA. As stated above, this book has discolored pages, stains and fraying on cover, which I think is leather.
