The Impressions of the Mind: To which are added Some Remarks on Church and State Discipline, and the Acting Principles of Life

Descripción

358, [2] p. 21 cm. Full leather. Spine scuffed and label is loosening and scratched. Apparently the bookplate of Sir John A. Macdonald on front pastedown. Front endpapers and errata slip torn and nearly detached. P. 281 may be chipped and creased - or could be paper fault. Small chip and tiny label on rear endpaper. Willson, founder of the Temple of Peace at Sharon, Ontario, had previously been expelled by the Quakers for advocating the use of music in worship services. At Sharon he and his followers formed the first civil band in Canada. Willson died in 1866 and his group disbanded in 1897 but their temple still stands at Sharon. Bookplate of John A. MacDonald looks a little too new and clean; it's likely a fake produced by H. Borden Clarke, a "creative" Canadian bookdealer. TPL 1937. Watters p. 855. N° de ref. del artículo 146466
