PLEASE Read!!!
I have tried my best to research this book online to the best of my abilities, I was able to find the information that I have provided in description. if you have "any" details or information on this book, please feel free or correct me on anything I have indicated in description! I admit that i know very little of approx. date, however I have done some slight research online about this book, but was not able to find "exact" info on this exact book due to its "odd writing on inside on covers-back & front"
!! PLEASE be sure to view All photos !!
-There is no date inside of book, just what I researched!!
-Black leather covers-detached & worn (as pictures show)
-Gold lettering on cover with gold trim pages.
-Spine is in decent, intact shape!
-All pages seem very well intact!!!! only writing I found was inside on page with an owners name.
-Pages seem in very well shape & condition. 454 pages!
Look at photo(s) #4 & 5-----> the book cover(s)---front & back.....behind the skin has "readings/stories" as pictures show----->they are from "The Girls Friendly Society Reporter"- called 'Friendly Leaves'---I found this very strange & odd and am not sure why or who printed these behind the skin of the cover(s) of this book! The covers have somewhat been peeled back, detached but are still on the cardboard. The black appears to be leather!
Very Rare Book! Over 150 yrs old! A Real gem of History!
