Item description from seller

The Rev. J.M. Austin, an upstate New York Universalist minister, editor and author, was also a well-known abolitionist and defender of unpopular causes in mid-19th century New York State. This book of advice on morals and ethical behavior, dress and demeanor, conversation and letter-writing, religion and marriage, was originally a series of essays published in the Evangelical Magazine and Gospel Advocate in 1837-38 before being issued in hardcover in 1838. At one time, it could be found in many public school classrooms. First Printing, First Edition Thus. Gilt-bordered, black boards and gilt-decorated spine with three raised bands. 390 pages; text shows marbled end papers with all text edges gilded. The boards show considerable surface and edge wear, with some staining. All four corners are bumped. The text is foxed and stained, in varying degrees throughout, without affecting legibiblity. In fact, the individual pages are surprisingly clean and unmarked with the exception of a faint handwritten note -- "New Year's present, 1839" -- on the front end page. The binding is tight and square. Overall, a very decent and collectable copy.…
