Philadelphia: William W. Harding, 1873. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Minor ink underlining and marginalia on just a couple pages, corners rubbed with minor loss, boards lightly soiled, number in white lettering on spine, pencil name and address on front endpaper. Binding tight and square. 1873 Hard Cover. ix, [1], 7-807 pp. All edges gilt. A study of various world religions, though - unsurprisingly given the date of publication - filtered through the lens of Christianity, and prioritizing American and European religions over those of 'pagan nations.' An appendix of ecclesiastical statistics appears between the chapter on Mormonism and the section on pagan religions.
