Job

1798 · 211049 — New York: Isaac Collins 1798. Hardbound. G-: Wear to the edges and corners. A spiderweb of cracks over the spine. Apparently delicious as a little friend chewed away the top right corners of the pages but miraculously missed all text and ink. Looks like he tasted a small portion at the very bottom of the spine too. Previous owner's name in ink on the front free end page. Tanning and foxing to the pages. Solid binding. Brown leather-esque may be goatskin covered boards with gilt text on a red plate on the spine. 360 pages; no illustrations. Very interesting reading; diaries of Job Scott about people with whom he met his itinerant preaching meetings he attended in England Europe and the United States his travels by sea that mention one trip from Boston to Paris by way of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and much more.
