The Story of a Busy Life: Recollections of Mrs. George A. Paull. Edited by J. R. Miller, D.D. New York and Boston: Thomas Y. Crowell & Company, 1896. Hardcover. Good condition. An attractive nineteenth-century account of the life, family, religious activities, and missionary service of Mrs. George A. Paull, presented in its original dark green publisher's cloth binding with decorative gilt floral centerpiece, gilt border rules, and gilt-stamped spine. Published in 1896 and edited by noted Presbyterian minister and devotional author J. R. Miller, this volume preserves the recollections of a woman whose life combined motherhood, religious instruction, community involvement, and missionary activity. The narrative offers a revealing perspective on women's experiences in late nineteenth-century American religious and domestic life. Particularly interesting are accounts of missionary journeys through northern New York and the Adirondack region, including references to Lake George, Warrensburg, Chestertown, and surrounding communities. The book also discusses childhood education, Sunday school activities, family relationships, and the challenges of balancing household responsibilities with religious service. Includes a portrait frontispiece of Mrs. Paull and an early handwritten ownership inscription reading "Anne Austin, June 8th, 1910," providing an additional element of historical interest. Condition: Good. Original decorated green cloth with attractive surviving gilt ornamentation on the front board and spine. Front cover remains presentable with light rubbing and handling wear. Spine exhibits noticeable mottling, discoloration, and rubbing, particularly toward the lower portion. Interior pages show age toning, scattered foxing, and occasional spotting, including on the title page and preliminary leaves. Period ownership inscription dated 1910 on the front free endpaper. Portrait frontispiece present. No dust jacket. Please examine photographs for condition details. An appealing historical volume for collectors of Victorian women's writing, nineteenth-century American religious history, missionary literature, Presbyterian history, and regional New York history. Its decorative publisher's binding and personal recollections make it an interesting example of late Victorian biographical literature. Photographs show the actual book offered for sale. …

Descripción de la tienda

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
