About This Item
A small, pocket-sized book containing a collection of 12 religiously tinged stories. The author claims the stories to be true, but I have my doubts. The author does clearly express a low opinion of Catholics and the Catholic Church. There is no date within the book, but an inscription before the frontispiece is dated 1868. This book was first published in 1852, although I haven't discovered the original publisher. This volume is covered with stamped dark brown fabric, faded over the spine, with gilt print and decoration on the spine. Wear to the fabric is remarkably mild for a book so old. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, other than the previously mentioned inscription, with slight foxing and tanning. A rather rare book in this format.
