First edition INSCRIBED, SIGNED, AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR. viii, 376 pages. Hardcover; H 19.75cm x L 12.5cm. Original dark brown cloth well rubbed, spine ends chipped, rear joint splitting at top with jagged 4cm loss to joint's center and adjacent spine cloth, gilt stamped spine lettering remains bright but not vibrant, board corners worn as are bottom edges, wear along center fore-edge of rear board. Boards remain firmly attached to binding as hinges are solid; several interior binding splits, however, have caused there to be approximately ten pulled quires; four page section (pgs 365-268) actually loose and now laid-in with some wear long their fore-edges. Very minimal foxing as interior leaves remain quite bright and clean. Text features Bartol's theological essays regarding Jesus Christ, worship, baptism, the Christian definition of immortality, ideas of heaven and hell, etc. A graduate of Bowdoin College (1832) and Harvard Divinity School (1835), Reverend Cyrus Augustus Bartol rose to prominence as a Unitarian minister, author, and member of the Transcendental Club. After earning a doctorate in divinity from Harvard in 1859, he succeeded Reverend Charles Lowell, father of James Russell Lowell, as the pastor of Boston's West Church. A prolific essayist, Bartol helped establish the Free Religious Association in 1867 and further developed his conservative Transcendentalist philosophy which often conflicted with opinions and positions advocated by his popular contemporaries, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Theodore Parker. A fair copy in need of re-binding but benefiting from the unusual five-line inscription in antiquarian ink upon the front free endpaper: "Henry Cormerais[?] | With all good wishes | of his friend | C.A. Bartol | March 22d 1853.".
