About This Item

Toronto: The Anglican Book Centre | [Church of England in Canada], N.D. [Circa 1976]. [Reprint]. Hardcover. pp. vi, 97. 12mo., measuring 19 cm tall. Light green cloth over boards with gilt lettering to the spine and front board. Light bumping to the corners, contents bright, clean, and unmarked with tight, sound binding; very good+ to near fine. Text in English and Cree syllabics. Comprises of 112 hymns with Gloria Tibi and Presentation of Offerings. Each hymn has note giving details about the translator, date of translation and/or revision. Syllabics hand-drawn and then reproduced by photoduplication process. Scarce with no known extant copies of this edition available on the market at time of cataloguing. The General Synod Archives of the Anglican Church of Canada indicates two copies amongst their holdings. We also note the presence of a similar copy housed at Library and Archives Canada but published by the 'General Board of Religious Education of the Church of England in Canada'. See OCLC #1007007160 for the LAC/BAC catalogue record. Not in Peel where it appears only in an electronic format. See Evans, Masinahikan 199, p. 72; wherein she states, "The 1954 annual report of the General Board of Religious Education, Editorial and Supplies Dept. reported on 'books in the Cree language' and noted that a 'new book of hymns in Cree by Venerable R. Faries was begun and put on sale in 1954." Evans also states that the 1954, and subsequent editions were based on "Farie's original manuscript revised and edited under the direction of H.S. Hughes-Caley, Archdeacon of York (Keewatin)."

Terms of Sale

Black's Fine Books & Manuscripts

In respect to items purchased from us over the internet, our Terms of Sale are as follows: 1) We are professional booksellers and adhere to the standards of our professional associations, both in terms of describing books and offering redress in case of a discrepancy. 2) The prices of all material offered for sale on our web site, or on the databases to which we subscribe, are net in US dollars, and each item is subject to prior sale. Normally payment in full must be received before an item will be shipped. If sending a cheque, money order, or purchase order, it is advisable to contact us first to request that the book be reserved for you pending receipt of payment. 3) Payment to Black's Fine Books and Manuscripts may be made by cheque drawn on a US or Canadian bank; wire transfer (please contact us directly for our BIC/IBAN/SWIFT particulars); and credit card (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX). Please note that we reserve the right to delay shipment of any book paid for by cheque, until the cheque has cleared the payer's bank account. If paying by money order, please make sure that you purchase a form of money order which may be cashed in Canada (i.e., an international money order). 4) Payment with order, please. We do not send any item out on approval unless prior arrangements have been made. Legitimate book dealers, with whom we have established a reciprocal arrangement, and any member of the ABAC, ABAA, ABA, or an ILAB-affiliated national organization, may apply for a trade discount on any proposed purchase. Canadian purchasers will be charged GST. Known academic institutions, or libraries, may be billed upon receipt of a purchase order. 5) Any item purchased from Black's Fine Books and Manuscripts is returnable (postpaid) to us within ten days of receipt, if it is found to be substantially different than as described. However, we guarantee any item we sell to be authentic as to provenance, or state of issue (i.e. if we claim a book is a first edition, we guarantee it to be such). If our description of a book in regard to provenance or state of issue is in error, it may be returned to us (with prior notice, please) for refund within one year of purchase. We do offer a layaway arrangement on more expensive items: generally where the purchase price exceeds $1,000. Typically, the purchaser should offer to us a down payment and propose acceptable terms of payment. We do not charge interest on payments made according to such an agreement. The item being purchased will be shipped upon receipt of payment in full. If payment is not made in accordance with the terms of the layaway arrangement, then the deposit and any payments will only be refunded after we have re-sold the item in question, and deducted our re-selling costs (if any). We can provide digital photographs or scans, sent as .jpeg attachments, of any item in stock. In making such a request, please be as specific as possible as to the views you would like to receive. Please bear in mind that it is not practical for us to provide photos to people doing research, or seeking to compile a library of digital images, and that we are less inclined to send photos of an inexpensive book (due to the time and effort it requires), in the absence of a demonstrable need or reason on the part of the would-be purchaser. Please send any further questions by email to: mail@blacksbooks.ca
