Hardcover. Condition: Good. Rose-colored cloth, decorated in blind & gilt, 6 x 3 3/4 inches, binding worn with light stains, no damage. Gold end papers with floral pattern. Woodcut frontispiece of a man and woman sitting at a table in a fashionable parlor, the man pointing to an open book on the table; the woodcut is signed "Devereux." 71 pages, tight, foxing throughout. The story of Ellen who was left orphaned at the age of eighteen, whose mother, on her deathbed, pleaded with her about the state of her soul. She becomes a sincere Christian, but marries a wealthy lawyer, who is not. The book is replete with her suffering in mind and soul over the temptations proffered to her through this "unscriptural marriage," and the fears that she has for her children, who are removed from her home after her husband's death; his brother had been made the executor of his will and the guardian of his children. The author has Ellen writing a letter at the end of the book, which concludes, "Oh! my friend, remember the poor sufferer who warns you; break the snare, and endure anything but the wretchedness of an unscriptural marriage. Sometimes pray for the affectionate, but broken-hearted Ellen R_____". A morality tale intended to warn against Christians uniting in marriage with an unbeliever.The engraver, Nicholson B.

Wraps. Stapled. Condition: Near Fine. An unusual business publication, not exactly a trade catalogue in which a company is promoting its products, but rather, a company promoting its line of business, inviting others to enter the industry. Thus the brochure is a primer on how cast iron toys are made, step-by-step, along with more general information about the industry, and as a marketing tool, putting a positive spin on things. Like many catalogues, there are also testimonials. As to what was in it for the company, it was seeking ways to profit in a consulting and alliance capacity. Since a new entrant would be challenged to handle all the vertical stages between sourcing of materials to retailing, the Metal Cast Products Co. could take care of the step(s) beyond the new enterprise. 4to., 25 by 12 cm. 26 pp, counting front wraps as two pages, not including rear wraps. Illustrated with both b/w photographs and drawn illustrations. Only the front cover shows the cast toys in vignette illustrations. Scarce, with Henry Ford showing as the only institutional holding on the OCLC First Search database and none found in commerce on the date this description was prepared. The wraps have a touch of browning around their perimeter and insignificant soiling. Offsetting of mailing envelope addressed to issuer (Metal Products) onto the last page. The envelope is present. Generally, the brochure shows only light wear. Its condition is such one could almost think it was a reprint.…
