Under the Southern Cross: A Woman's Life Work for Africa
by Emma Hillmon Haviland
The memoirs of a Free Methodist missionary to South Africa in the days in which it was a pioneer mission field. Contains history of the missions and also information about the history and culture of the Zulu people. Although the writing style is not very engaging, the information is still very interesting. Contains some black and white photographs.
FIRST EDITION published by God's Bible School and Revivalist. Copyright 1928. No later date listed. VERY RARE book. One of only three first edition copies listed for sale online that I could find.
Good condition with minor flaws including wear, scuffing and fading of the cover. The binding is a little wobbly. There are stamps from a previous owner, "Rev. Coy Crowe of Old Richmond Peoples Methodist Church of Tobaccoville, N.C." and the name "Makayla Gilchrist" is written in pen in a child's handwriting.

There is moisture damage and some mold damage to the rear pages. “Frankie L. Smedley” written in pencil on one of the blank front pages.

Victorian Era Holy Bible
Unique Bible published by Eyre and Spottiswoode, "Printer's to the Queen's most Excellent Majesty." No date is listed, but Queen Victoria's reign was between 1837-1901.
The Bible is small hardback covered in light green felted fabric (much of the felting has worn off) and some sort of celluloid, in which are flowers and the words, "Holy Bible." Very scarce. I was unable to find another one like it online.
A handwritten card is tucked into the Bible and reads, "Dear Carol: When I was a youg woman, I happened to see this little Bible in Mr. Sim's drug store. It had such an unusual binding that I could not resist it, and so i bought it. Now I am giving it to you, hoping you will like it. Love and, a Merry Christmas. Aunt Julia." The date 1885 is added in a different color of pen.
As pictured, there is splitting of the binding between some pages. A few pages in the very end and very beginning are loose, but no pages appear to be missing.

Songs of Joy and Gladness
by W. McDonald, Joshua Gill, J.R. Sweney, and W.J. Kirkpatrick
Antique hardcover hymnal published in 1885 by McDonald, Gill & Co. Contains 271 songs + index.
Edges and corners of cover are rubbed, with some of the paper peeling from the boards. The binding is loose (see pictures), but it looks like some glue along the inside of the spine would help tremendously.
Although this hymnbook doesn't have a denominational label, the phrase "The Beauty of Holiness" points to a Wesleyan Methodist influence. Sweney and Kirkpatrick were part of the Methodist Episcopal denomination. SOLD
