Christian Character: A Book for Young Ladies


NEWCOMB, REV H

Small octavo hardcover (G+); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.
