About this Item

1923. First edition. viii, 224pp. Top edge gilt. This is a collection of 49 short essays and studies on many subjects, but largely with a religoius bias. They were not originally intended for publication, but were collected in book form by the author at the request of his friends. The book is bound in the original brown cloth covered boards with a white cloth spine and gold on brown titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with heavyish bumping to the spine ends and some dents on the spine. The contents are tight and clean with a prevous owner's name and date (1923), together with a signed inscription from the author on the front free endpaper. The inscription reads: "With all kindly greetings. Sydney Walton." A signed letter from the author to Clarence Hitchen of M.C. Hichen & Sons, Drapers of Leeds, has been tipped in on the front fixed endpaper. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with soiling and the edges are rubbed with some creasing along the top edge. The spine ends and corners are bumped and nicked with small pieces missing. The edges have some tears of up to about 3/4" and some of these have been repaired on the reverse with tape. The spine is faded and a name (Mr. Hitchen) has been written on the front of the wrapper. Seller Inventory # Net0852
