RICHMOND, Legh, Rev : AFRICAN WIDOW

THE AFRICAN WIDOW. Supposed to have been written by the late Rev. Legh Richmond. New-York: Published by the American Tract Society, 144 Nassau- street ... , N.D. [1829-1833?]. Series II, No. VIII, pp. [113]-128. 16 pp. The approximate date is based upon the Society's address (www.americanantiquarian.org/node/6693). Publisher's blue paper wrappers, 10.5 x 6.5 cm, printed on the front and back. Woodcut borders on wrappers, with woodcut illustration on front wrap and throughout text. Series information printed on front wrap; "Publications of the American Tract Society" printed on the back wrap. The wrappers are edge chipped and dust-soiled, with a closed tear to the back wrap. The tract has been lovingly, yet clumsily, re-sewn with string, with the insertion at the end of the poem 'A Hymn for Lucy, a Little Child' clipped from The Christian Register in 1834 (based upon notices printed on the verso). Text is a bit age spotted with some corner creasing. A scarce title. $250.00[a]
