264 pages. Author's signature atop title page. "Our family story reads like none other. This Smith saga takes us from poor pioneers to feisty farmers; from Senators to Brigadiers; from local fruit processing to a national manufacturer to a growing North American family firm. When I realized our history included war, fire, the Great Depression, family dissension, bravery under attack, successes, failures, innovation and vision, I wanted to pass it all on to my children. Apart from the name Smith, the common thread throughout the generations has been jam. A guiet, friendly, unassuming product has been the mainstay of our business. It is the framework from which all the adventures stem, and they are considerable." - Author Unmarked. Moderate wear. Prior owner's business card affixed inside front cover.

In 1789 the American Episcopal church adopted its first version of the Book of Common Prayer, which was used from 1790 until a major revision was completed in 1892. During this time, several editions of the Book of Common Prayer were published with corrections and other minor changes, of which this 1793 edition was the first. No priority has been established for the several 1793 Gaine varieties and variants. Because of format differences with those found in the record, we think that this is an unrecorded variant (closely allied to: Evans/Shipton & Mooney 26043; Griffiths 1793:11).
