Published by Macmillan and Co. in London, the text covers the Books of Moses, the prophets, and the historical value of Hebrew ethics. This particular copy features fascinating period provenance, including extensive handwritten notes on the endpapers detailing biblical history and the chronology of the prophets, providing a unique glimpse into its past use as a study tool.
​The book is bound in its original dark blue cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. It contains 246 pages, including a comprehensive index.
​Condition Report:
The book is in good vintage condition. The blue cloth boards show some shelf wear, with bumping and fraying to the top and bottom of the spine. The internal pages are generally clean with some age-toning, and the binding remains secure despite some starting at the internal hinges. Notable for its neat, extensive contemporary handwritten annotations on the rear flyleaves.
​This volume would suit a collector of early 20th-century theology, a student of ecclesiastical history, or someone who appreciates books with personal provenance and historical marginalia.
