Description

An outline of the history of the church in the state of Kentucky, during a period of forty years : containing the memoirs of Rev. David Rice, and sketches of the origin and present state of particular churches, and of the lives and labours of a number of men who were eminent and useful in their day By Robert H. Bishop Published: Lexington : T.T. Skillman, 1824. FIRST EDITION. 420 pp. Original full leather boards, binding is tight and secure. Boards have significant rubbing, scuffing and age darkening to surface, edges, corners and spine. The pages show considerable oxidation, but are unmarked; the first few pages show some water damage. Pencil and ink notations from previous owner(s) on the front and rear endpages; signature of previous owner on title page. SCARCE. The last three blank pages (endpapers) have notes and what appears to be a handwritten index of ministers and what page they appear on in the text. A copy of an early and scarce Kentucky imprint. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.

    My order arrived quickly and it was packaged very well. The item I ordered was described perfectly and it even exceeded my expectations. The retail and shipping costs were both a great value. The Seller communicated with me throughout the entire sales process. I will order from this Seller again and I highly encourage others to do the same. This was a great retail experience!!!

    Very rare item published in my home city in 1874. So pleased that this was offered for auction. The book is in better condition that would be expected for something 151 years of age. Well packaged for shipping which arrived seamlessly. Better than described. Value is priceless. Transaction was flawless. Recommended A+++

    Split hinges unmentioned (reparable with skill and some rice paper), but still a handsome and serviceable copy, largely as described. Arrived well-packed in a heavy box and a waterproof plastic sleeve! Promptly shipped, a good value for money spent! Thanks!
