The unpublished "Talk with Philip the Boatman" was written January 24th 1879." (Prefatory note dated 1882). 17cms x 12cms.

Small faded spot to lower front board and faint rectangular trace where a publisher's label was previously pasted. Bumps to corner tips. Generally a clean tight copy of a scarce book. G+."Frances Ridley Havergal (14 December 1836 3 June 1879) was an English religious poet and hymn writer. Take My Life and Let it Be and Thy Life for Me (also known as I Gave My Life for Thee) are two of her best known hymns. She also wrote hymn melodies, religious tracts, and works for children."(wiki)."Frances R. Havergal (1836-1879) was born in her father's rectory at Worcestershire, England, the youngest of the Havergal family. Some considered her a prodigy for being inclined to read, write, and memorize Scripture at the age of four. From childhood Miss Havergal wrote narratives and prose that were eagerly published and read in religious periodicals. By the age of 14 she was quoted as saying, "I committed my soul to the Saviour earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment, when I did trust the Lord Jesus." Being frail of health her entire life, Miss Havergal died at the young age of forty-three. She is best remembered for her musical talents and the composition of many excellent hymns, which are still being sung to date." (blueletterbible).
