London: Samuel Bagster Book. Very Good. Full Leather. 24mo - Mini. Circa 1843. With special title-page: "Was presented to Mr. Andrew Somerville by the Sabbath School Teachers' Association of North Leith - As a small token of their respect and gratitude for his zeal and diligence while acting as their secretary." A very nice copy of this handsome mini edition, having five raised bands and gilt lettering on spine, all edges gilt, deep purple feps and pastedowns, and gilt dentelles with lettering at front reading, "Bagster's Binding" (thus original printer's binding). Some loss of gilt to edges of text block, corners and some areas of edges rubbed to boards, tiny chip at crown of backstrip, and some evidence of dampstain affecting ffep, front pastedown, and title-pages. Oversall, text clean and legible. Binding solid. [ Montreal Books rating system: 1. Fine 2. Near Fine 3. Very Good 4. Good 5. Fair ].
