Binding secure; some light toning and foxing and wear in text. Some curling of page edges.The articles are of various sizes but binding of all is nice and secure. The works are of slightly different sizes. Laid in are two nineteenth century newspaper articles about Strauss. David Strauss 1808 - 1874 began as a Christian but was led by his studies to doubt the historical Jesus and to see the Bible as myth. Wikipedia cites the Earl of Shaftesbury announcing in reaction to a work of Strauss that it was "the most pestilential book ever vomited out of the jaws of hell" which sort of gives one an ideal of vitriol Strauss faced.
