Outlines of Church History, Illustrated

By A. Bendel

Pilger Book Store, Reading, PA. 1882.

Red cloth hardbound 8 x 6" approx. 150 pages. Fair condition, Case stamped and embossed titling, good binding, minor age-related wear and discoloration. Minor damage to pages. Lots of scribbling on inside leaf. Overall, decent condition for a book of its age. Priced fairly to reflect the condition.

This interesting little book is illustrated, and reflects an unusual and short church history. It should be of interest to local historians of Central and Eastern PA. The provenance suggests that descendants of Smales, Sholes and Sellers families might want to recover this text as a family article.

Inscription on inside fly reads "Margaret Kauth Smales's book, Romaine Sholes' scribbles as a small child. Nan H. Sellers - Oct. 21, 1992. Given to John H. Sellers Apr. 8 1995 by Nan H. Sellers, Mother."
