Two initial quires slightly pulled but binding is firm. Features text in the original Latin and Greek with Anthon's explanatory notes in English. Book acquired from a Vicksburg, Mississippi estate with aforementioned Fox family signatures/inscriptions attesting to an extended Mississippi provenance. Born in Connecticut in 1794, James A. Fox moved to Mississippi in 1819 with the intention of practicing law but switched to the Protestant Episcopal Church clergy organizing St. Paul's Church in Woodville (south of Natchez) in 1824 and establishing the Diocese of Mississippi in 1825. Presiding over the Diocese's early conventions, Fox ministered at various churches in southwestern Mississippi and was elected as president of Jefferson College in Washington, Mississippi in 1847. Fox retired to his farm, Woodburne Plantation, near Bovina on the Big Black River ten miles east of Vicksburg just before the onset of the Civil War. Four families resided at Woodburne during the siege and after with, upon the capture of Vicksburg in July 1863, the further imposition of the family land serving as General William T. Sherman's Union Army headquarters during the late summer and fall before the start of his Meridian Expedition. Married four times, Reverend Fox had, by varying accounts, either fifteen or sixteen children. Andrew and Eliza (or Elisa) were James Fox's second and seventh children with his second wife. {Antiq-Shelf#3}.
