[QUOTE="AntiqueBytes, post: 4431566, member: 13195"]A book of eleven of William Channings Tracts. It's unique. Most of them are from 1810s to 1830s. I don't see any original tracts listed for sale at used.addall.com. Not sure how much its kosher to discus price on here since I rarely see it, but I'm thinking it's worth over $500 to the right buyer. Unique. No publisher listed as there is no title page. Contains Eleven of William Ellery.Channing's Unitarian tracts. These are rare today, as at the time they were probably often destroyed by people that rejected the claims of Unitarianism. There were books against Unitarianism shortly after its origin. Bookplate of the "Parsonage Society of the Unitarian Society, Meadeville." Hardcover. Half-leather. Marble boards with leather spine and corner tips. Front hinge is cracked but still attached. Has pen index on front endpaper and a small number on each section of the book that corresponds (1,2,3 up to 11). Textblock otherwise is firm and mostly clean very good-plus condition over all condition of tracts except for a few small stains.
