Provenance:  From the library of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School; properly deaccessioned.

Evidence of Readership: Occasional pencil markings and a few marginal comments in the first third of text.

•  ESTC T31966; Allibone 411–12.   Recent blue-grey marbled paper–covered boards, spine with printed paper label. Title-page repaired with loss of perhaps ten letters of epigraph, with partially trimmed name inked in an early hand, and with very elegant old institutional pressure-stamp; title-page verso with pencilled call numbers; first text page with institutional stamp in upper margin, inked and pencilled numeral in lower margin. Two preliminary leaves lacking. A few leaves closely trimmed at one or another margin; last 20 with very short marginal tears not approaching text. Light age-toning and occasionally a spot; generally, clean; marked as above. An influential work on rational religion with evidence of use.  (36007)

•  Martin & Walter 5106.   Sewn, never bound; title-page with affixed paper shelving label in lower inner corner, not touching text, and with pencilled monogram in upper outer corner.

•  ESTC T97031; Sweet & Maxwell (2nd ed.) I:322.4.   19th-century half calf and dark red ribbon-embossed cloth, very pleasingly rebacked, spine with gilt-stamped title and raised bands framed by bead-and-line blind tooling; original leather corners worn, cloth scuffed, front cover with faint traces of ring indentation and small area of bubbling by lower outer corner. Pages gently age-toned; one lower outer corner torn away, not touching text; one leaf with paper flaw in lower outer portion. A good solid copy that will present a pleasing appearance on the shelf.  (34120)

•  Sabin 16953.   Contemporary treed calf, front joint (outside) starting at top to open. A good+ copy — in fact, a rather nice one.  (20510)

•  NSTC C4019.   Contemporary calf, covers framed in gilt dotted roll, spines with gilt-stamped leather title and volume labels, compartments with gilt-stamped decorations; rubbed and scuffed overall with a hinge or two just “tender,” some sides showing signs of waterstaining, spine heads reinforced some time ago with paper and two feet chipped with tape reinforcement. Ex–social club library with paper shelving labels on spines, 19th-century bookplates, call number on endpapers, old rubber-stamp on title-pages and a few others. First or last pages of some volumes with light to moderate waterstaining almost entirely confined to margins; scattered spots of light foxing.  A compromised set, priced accordingly; complete, however, and not without its points. (29495)

Ex-library as above: evidence of former call number label on spine, bookplate on front pastedown, rubber-stamp on endpaper and title-page, accession pencilling on title-page verso, circulation materials at back. Light pencilling on endpapers, one lower outside corner a tremoin, one leaf repaired, two with small holes and loss of a letter or two, one with a medium tear lightly touching text; light to moderate spotting and age-toning. Not pristine and priced accordingly — yet, a good book.  (36729)
