Item description from seller

(Old Books, 19th Century Book, Leather Books, Religion, Christianity). A Guide for Young Disciples of the Holy Savior in Their Way to Immortality, by J. G. Pike. Published c. 1823, New York by the American Tract Society.465 pages. Text in English. Richly engraved frontis & half title protected by original tissue guard. Frontis depicts an elegantly dressed man contemplating in the moonlight night, half title an extended family interior scene with children before a bookcase full of books. Publishers period 1/4 leather binding, early cloth covers, smooth spine, gilt title lettering & bands, old institutional paper label on spine. Book is physically old (almost 200 years old to be precise) and shows some mostly gentle signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition, but it does survive much nicer than is typical for other books of this era. Looks nicer in person than screen pics might indicate. Binding gently age worn, leather rubbed with some old thin spine creasing, but still supple, joints slightly scuffed, remains overall attractive as an object. Text block paper is gently toned, light to moderate scattered age spotting, internally still well preserved, tight, sound. Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives. Book Measures c. 6" H x 3 3/4" W.[B2636].…
