Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 125pp + Catalogue of New and Recent Books. 'Scenes on the Sea' published by James B. Knapp [1888], First Edition - no date inside book, however research indicates a First Edition 1888 volume. This is a Minerva Series, wonderfully illustrated with black and white full plate etchings, including frontispiece of black and white etching of 'The Filey Boats Leaving Harbour'. A wonderful story and historical account of Filey and Bridlington by the Rev. George Shaw (1830 - 1903), a Methodist Minister. This is one of a number of books written by George which also includes additional books on Filey and Grimsby. George was born on 26 September 1830 at Grimsby, Lincolnshire to parents George and Jane. George senior was a tailor. Prior to entering the ministry George trained as a tailor. George’s grandmother was one of the earliest members of the first Society at Grimsby, which was formed in 1819. George joined the Primitive Methodists in 1849 and soon became a local preacher. George’s obituary records that the temperance cause found in him an earnest advocate, and progressive politics a stalwart friend. His public ministry evinced wide and varied reading. In knowledge of the Scriptures, and ability to forcefully and intelligently expound them, especially the more obscure and difficult portions, he excelled. His great stories of pathos, humour and reminiscence contributed largely to his pulpit power. He held fast to the central and vital truths of the Gospel. Christ had inn every sermon ‘the pre-eminence’. In original green illustrated boards, age related wear with a darkened spine. Pastedown; 'New Glee Baptist Sunday School' stamp with a handwritten note in old ink for a prize for attendance, dated Dec 25th 1898. Also, a small green printers' sticker to lower left of pastedown. FEP split to lower edge of hinge (2") - page not loose. Small faded pencil mark to top right of FEP. Rear pastedown paper has cracked - does not impact the spine. Frontispiece of black and white etching of 'The Filey Boats Leaving Harbour'. Pages are age toned - but this does not impact the etchings or the text. Additional photographs are available upon request. For shipping heavier items, or delivery outside the UK, please read our shipping terms for further details.…

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
All books are carefully packaged by hand (where possible using sustainable materials). Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Estimated shipping costs are based on your total order weighing less than 750g. If your total order is heavy (more than 750g) or oversized, we may contact you to let you know that extra shipping is required.
All orders will include delivery tracking, which by virtue of placing an order, the buyer agrees to accept as proof of delivery. Additional charges may apply for signature upon delivery if required.
