About this Item

An early 19th century copy of the Common Book of Prayer, bound with a new version of the Psalms of David. Two volumes in one, bound in a full morocco binding. All edges gilt. Ink inscription to the title page of The Common Book of Prayer, stating 'John Statter. Wakefield', which is repeated to the verso of the title page of A New Version of the Psalms of David, dated 1806. Four handwritten pages bound in with the order of morning prayer to The Common Book of Prayer. An 1801 edition of The Common Book of Prayer with the Psalms of David, bound together with a 1802 edition of A New Version of the Psalms of David. The Common Book of Prayer contains a calendar with tables of lessons, the order for morning prayer and evening prayer and many important religious dates, and the Psalms of David. A New Version of the Psalms of David contains psalms and hymns. In a full morocco binding. Externally, fairly smart, with a little bumping to the extremities and some rubbing to the joints and head and tail of the spine. Spine lettering is a little faded. Front hinge is strained but holding firm. Rear hinge is detached from the textblock, which is causing the backstrip to start coming away from the spine. Headband is loose. Internally, firmly bound, except for some strain to the binding to A New Version of the Psalms of David. Pages are age toned with a scattering of spots throughout. Good.
