Edwin Hubbell Chapin (December 29, 1811 –1880) was an American preacher & editor of the Christian Leader. He was also a poet, Burial at Sea, was the origin of a famous folk song, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie.

Early Years:
Chapin, was born in Union Village, WA County, NY. He completed his formal education in a seminary at Bennington, VT. At the age of 24, after a course of theological study, he was invited to take charge of the pulpit of the Universalist Society of Richmond, Va, and was ordained as a pastor in 1838. Two years later, he moved to Charlestown, Ma, and in 1840 he accepted the pastorate of the School Street Society, in Boston. In 1848 he settled in New York as pastor of the Fourth Universalist Society, the church was then located on Broadway, where he labored over 18 yrs, drawing large congregations. A new edifice, known as the Church of the Divine Paternity, was erected on the corner of 5th Ave and 45th St, and dedicated on Dec 3, 1866.

Death: He died at Pigeon Cove, a village of Rockport, MA, survived by two sons and one daughter. The Chapin Memorial Church at Oneonta, NY was dedicated to him in 1894. A chasm in the rocky coast near his home in Pigeon Cove is named Chapin's Gully where Chapin often swam.

Questions & Comments

Nice to see some Christian items here, rather than Wiccan, which seems to be all the rage these days.

This is a very cool item! I have no explanation for it but I tend to collect this sort of thing and have a bookcase full of very very old books on similar subjects, and several different versions of the Bible as well... This is EXACTLY the sort of thing I would emerge from an antique mall with, leaving everyone else to shake their heads. lol. Beautiful book!

what an awesome thing to say, thank you for the lovely comment, best of luck. I was recently looking at all her and her husbands bible's (this book was with them), some are so amazing, my grandfather carried a pocket size on the ship in the service, hand written 1-25-19 USS Mongolia at Sea, Station B, Chatt. TN, he wrote in the company name and drew the insegnia, oh how I would love to hear the stories this bible could tell. I look at it every day, I'm so happy I opened that box up.

BTW.... please rephrase your heading from vintage to Antique. It definitely is. I am an avid book collector and this a good one.

Nov 10th, 2014 at 12:30:42 PM PST by

thank you, I cannot change the original heading. I used Vintage because it's followed by a year, but you are right, it definitely is an antique, which I did manage to add into the heading. Thank you so much for the nice compliment. It is is excellent condition, it has been packed away for years, away from all elements, (until now).

Beautiful item!! Are there any missing pages, or is any of the internal binding compromised? I'll be watching this!

Excellent auction. Pardon me for asking but does it actually say or insinuate anywhere in the book that it is a first edition? Curious. I did look at your photos and the book is in great condition for its age. Fan

It does not say it in the book, I have done a lot of research and this is the first of three, give me some time (I unbookmarked the page) and will list the 2nd and 3rd. (the 1850 is what starts the first of these 3 books)
