168 + [22]pp. Sextodecimo [14 cm] Burgundy leather with 'Ready References' gilt stamped on the front cover. Better than very good. Twenty-two ruled pages bound in at the rear (before the rear free endsheet) by the publisher. Manuscript notes to the first blank leaf. Gentle rubbing to extremities of boards. Very good. Early printing of this work that was intended for LDS Missionaries in the field that contains blank ruled leaves for notes at the end of the text. This work contains dozens and dozens of Bible scriptures for Missionaries to cite while proselytizing. "This work is likely to prove one of the most useful that has ever been issued in the Church. It will be of advantage not only to those engaged in preaching the Gospel, but to writers and students of the Scriptures as well. In fact, it will be a most excellent work to place in the hands of Bible-believers who are investigating the doctrines of our Church; for though there is no reference made throughout the entire book to the views held by the Latter-day Saints on the subject of religion, the passages of Scriptures bearing up on the tenets of their faith, are so arranged in succinct form, that the reader acquainted with their creed, can see almost at a glance that it is amply supported by the Scriptures." - Deseret News (02/14/1885) Flake/Draper 484.
