[9843] Full brown leather, scuffed and worn, some cracking to the joints, "Ira Gibbs" in gilt to front, 16 x 9.8 cm (6 5/8 x 3 7/8 inches). "2506" in blue ink on the tp. (1)-36, (51)-496, (505)-776; text is complete. The gap between p. 36 & p.

Similar with the gap between p. 496 & p. (505). Good. Full leather. The first 36 pp. include a comprehensive subject index. Samuel Worcester, D.D. (1770-1821), born at Hollis, New Hampshire, graduated at Dartmouth College with the highest honors in 1795. “[In 1797] he was ordained pastor of the Church at Fitchburg, a society which was cursed by all the evils of the Half-Way Covenant – including among its members Deists, Arians, Universalists, and the openly immoral. With decision, inflexible integrity, and solemn faithfulness to truth and duty, Worcester opened the batteries of the Gospel upon the errors and sins that called for rebuke. As a result, in the ensuing spring, the covenant was revised and an orthodox creed adopted, and in 1799 an extensive revival occurred.” – M’Clintock & Strong. With a signed provenance card from the music collection of A. Merril Smoak, Jr., DWS.
