Hinges weak and spine possibly reattached at some earlier stage. In original slipcase. This following: from an expert in this area: "Basically, a colle…ction of Protestant, more specifically Lutheran church songs & prayers, for use, primarily, in Brandenburg (then part of Prussia). Some sort of revivalist pattern, all the time genuflecting to Kaiser "Bill", as the Brits knew him. Revivalism was, I feel, marked in Protestant countries, both in Europe and America, in the late nineteenth century. The tone is fulsome and this sort of fanaticism led directly to Prussia being the lynchpin of Hitler's power grab".
