Prepared for
the Alumni Association
and
Presented at
its Annual Meeting, June 10, 1896
Published:
Boston, MA, Beacon Press
1896
A rather
interesting collection of obituaries, circa 1895-1896 of Alumni and some non-graduates
of the Andover Theological Seminary,.
Interestingly printed in this collection are obituaries of Edward Beecher, son of Lyman Beecher and the brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher, and the obituary of Samuel Francis Smith who wrote the lyrics to “America”, (My Country, 'Tis of Thee).
I am sure there are other notable obituaries among
the 56 which are printed in the pamphlet. It will be fun research.
Bound in printed
wrappers, stapled binding, pp. 181-235, 5 ½ x 9 inches, some unobtrusive faint age tanning and light soiling to front
covers otherwise in very good condition, tight and intact, odor free, not
ex-library.
Pencil notation on the front cover: Rev. Louis McDonald Obituary. The Rev. was of the class of 1826 and in his obituary it states that “his mind became unsettled and was an inmate of the Vermont Asylum at Brattleboro until his death”
A truly rare
copy of this title, no copies for sale at on line bookseller sites and a
WorldCat search locates no copies in institutional holdings. This is a nice
opportunity to add this to a history of 19th century American
religions reference library.
