About this Item

Full title - THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER, AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE SACRAMENTS, AND OTHER RITES AND CEREMONIES OF THE CHURCH, ACCORDING TO THE USE OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND; TOGETHER WITH THE PSALTER OR PSALMS OF DAVID, POINTED AS THEY ARE TO BE SUNG OR SAID IN CHURCHES; AND THE FORM AND MANNER OF MAKING, ORDAINING, AND CONSECRATING OF BISHOPS, PRIESTS, AND DEACONS. Unpaged. Hardcover: H 14.75cm x L 9.5cm (title page specifies "Long Primer 24mo"). Full black morocco leather rubbed with scuffing at board edges (particularly corners) and spine ends; spine also decorated with four slightly raised bands with gilt lettering "Common Prayer" in second compartment from head. All edges gilt. Several initial and rear leaves have shallow edge-wear (book utilizes rather thin paper stock); a few scattered spots of foxing and small stains but overall pages are clean. Foxed and slightly soiled large presentation bookplate on front pastedown from "Asylum for the Deaf & Dumb, Old Kent Road, London and Margate" to student George Enfield on leaving school and dated for July 1892. No publishing/copyright date provided on title leaf so bookplate at least provides a circa 1890 date for book. Still a handsome small book despite some cosmetic scuffing.
