About This Item
Boston: Bowles and Dearborn, 1827. An anthology containing twelve doctrinal phamplets (actually eleven and an index) issued in various years by the American Unitarian Association. Although the Title Page gives the publication date as 1827, the chapters have different publishers and dates, from when they were origially printed. The latest one is 1837; Quercus therefore believes this to be the actual date of publication. This is a Very Good copy, really in quite nice condition. Marbled paper-covered boards with leather tips and spine; rules, with gilt lettering on the spine. Mildly rubbed and bumped. The text is clean and bright, quite superior to the norm. Each chapter has its own pagination but volume total is 334 pages. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
