Cloth rather mottled and a little rubbed; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper; regular browning; occasional spotting and faint soiling. Good. (Doke, p. 51 [1st edition]; Strange Collection 1132 [Earlier edition]; Murphy & Goff 1099 [Later edition]) "The Roman Catholic Church ... has a different approach to mission work from that of the Protestant churches, but nevertheless it is possible to include the work done at the Trappist monastery of Mariannhill, near Pinetown, Natal, since 1883, under mission presses. Publications in languages as diverse as Polish and Zulu have emanated from this press, and during the first year of the monastery, a vernacular catechism, some broadsides in English and German among which were some hymns." - Anna H. Smith: The Spread of Printing: Eastern Hemisphere, South Africa, p. 78. .
