1817 — Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations — Hannah Adams — Rebound in Nice 3/4 Leather

Adams, Hannah. Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations, Jewish, Heathen, Mahometan, and Christian, Ancient and Modern. With an Appendix Containing A Sketch of the Present State of the World, as to Population, Religion, Toleration, Missions, Etc, and the Articles in Which All Christian Denominations Agree. 

Published by James Eastburn….New York,  and Company: and By Cummings and Hillieard…Boston, 1817.376 pages.

This volume has the original text block, but has been rebound in a 3/4 leather binding with marbled boards and fancy marbled end sheets inside both covers. Most pages have faded with age, but are in good condition overall.

This is an early edition of this book; later editions would include newer denominations such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints / Mormon.

When they rebound it, they tried to make the leather looks older than it really is, I guess to make it look more like the period.
