Rare miniature edition (c.1820-1840) of Richmond's 1814 devotional, measuring under 3 inches tall and bound in fine tree-calf leather with gilt titling. This pocket-sized volume represents the evangelical movement's miniaturization trend, featuring Elizabeth Bather's authentic letters and diary entries. The narrative traces her spiritual transformation from humble farmhand to devoted Christian, concluding with her peaceful death at twenty-two—presented as testament to faith's power to transform even the most modest lives.
Condition:
The tree-calf covers are gently worn, with softening along the spine, light scuffs, and rubbing at the corners, yet the hinges hold tight. Inside, the text block shows heavy browning and scattered foxing, most pronounced on the opening leaves, and a small water stain mars the Part I title page but there are no tears or losses, and every leaf remains fully legible.
