A few months later Pope Pius took up the cause and she was declared blessed. This is the original case as set forward by Patrizi. Marguerite Marie Alacoque was sainted in 1920. She was widely influential in the veneration of the Sacred Heart and the Holy Hour. Her devotional writings were published posthumously as La Devotion au Sacré-Coeur de Jesus.

This one contains a color title and is bound in embossed leather with circular hand painted lozenges inset on the front and back covers. All edges gilt. The book has been rebacked but the backstrip is also embossed leather and nicely matches the rest of the binding. True to form the book is inscribed by a well wisher to Elizabeth B. Mann "sometime before their wedding Dec. 12 1859." The only discordant note is that the painting inset into the front board surrounded by a rim of gold and mother of pearl represents a sinking ship.

Circa 1826. 16mo. 32 pp. b/w wood engraved illustrations. <br /><br />A preacher in England bumps into an old Sunday School student of his named John Robins. The two get to talking and Robins tells how he managed to lose an eye a best friend at Trafalgar and a leg in the course of his naval career. He spent quite a while "in the service of sin" but eventually found his way back to the Lord and now is perfectly happy to have been "a brand plucked out of the burning." Well to each his own. Worldcat dates this pretty little book at 1826. It stands 4 1/4 inches tall and is bound in quarter leather over marbled boards with gilt spine lettering. American Sunday-School Union hardcover books
42129Edinburgh: Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation. Hersdilia was a 454 ton steam yacht 171 loa manned by a crew of 19 and built in 1895 in Leith. In July and August 1896 she took a cruise to Norway and the Orkney Islands with a party of about a dozen the entire adventure being recorded here in the sort of hi-falootin' language reserved for the Upper Classes in the late Victorian era. The characters are given names such as "Lord High Admiral" "Cerberus" and "Dr. Angelicus" and the prose is riddled with weary tropes such as "in the after deckhouse incense is burned to 'My Lady Nicotine.'" The account records sea-going events and activities big waves! of course but also gives a readable narrative of their adventures ashore. This is followed by about 20 pages of mostly unreadable poetry penned by members of the expedition. Aside from a pleasing book design and a real sense of how better folks took their recreation back then the redeeming virtue of this work is its scarcity. Not in Toy. Worldcat shows only 5 libraries holding copies. Good condition in original binding showing light soiling and wear. Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation books
