About this Item

First Edition (SD). Once listed, this will be the Only original copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. As you can see from the photos, the covers are very clean, with only a few light spots. The gilt lettering on both the front and spine is quite bright. The edges are very good shape. The two top corners are actually free of rubbing. The two bottom corners have only small spots of rubbing. The spine ends have only minor wear, a little rubbing. The page edges look quite good. The middle one has one or two small light spots. Their impact on the actual pages is negligible, a tiny bit of the tan spot just peeks over the edge of few pages. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are very clean. I saw no more than a few blending spots and a few specks. The pages are also in quite good shape. I saw some top corners with a vague hint of a crease. There are no turned-down corner creases or placeholder creases, nothing at all conspicuous. There are no markings or stampings anywhere in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. This is NOT an ex-library book. A previous owner signed and dated (1911) his name in pencil on the blank first front end paper (the inside covers and end papers do have a little bit of shadowing and spotting, nothing terribly significant). He also penciled short lines or checkmarks on the white margins of 20 to 25 pages, most often only one pencil mark to each of these pages. I also found two instances where he had underlined in pencil a sentence. There are no pen marks anywhere. One could, if one chose, erase the penciling. 'The eight lectures which follow were delivered at the Church of Our Father, Pawtucket, R.I., during the winter of 1893-4. Encouraged by the kind reception then accorded them, the writer ventures to submit them now to a larger circle of readers.' The titles of the eight lectures are The Church And The Life Of Men; The Church And the Education; The Church And Charity; The Church And Business; The Church And Labor; The Church And Politics; The Church And Reforms; The Church And Society. Frederick William Hamilton (1860-1940) was an American Universalist, a businessman and the fourth president of Tufts University from 1905 to 1912. Born in Portland, Maine, he received his Bachelor of Arts from Tufts in 1880 and his Master of Arts in English literature and philosophy in 1886, in addition to an honorary Doctor of Divinity in 1889 and, from St. Lawrence University, an honorary Doctor of Laws in 1906.'.

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
