Cotton, George Edward Lynch Instructions in the Principles and Practice of Christianity Intended Chiefly as an Introduction to Confirmation
London, England Longmans, Green & Co. Hardcover Good+
16mo - 14.5 x 9 cm.; xii - 174 pp. Black cloth with gold lettering on spine and blind stampings on front & back boards. Cotton was the Lord Bishop of Calcutta in the late 1800's after making quite a name for himself while teaching in England. It is said that he was the model for the "young master" of Tom's Brown's Schooldays. Cotton (1813-1866) died quite suddenly in India after consecrating a cemetery on the shores of the Ganges River. While navigating the plank from the shore to the boat that was waiting for him, he slipped off and was swept away. No trace of him was ever found. Back to the book: the date of publication is not stated though the previous owner's name on the half title page is dated May 25, 1889. This copy is the 8th edition. A standard and comprehensive cathechesis on the sacrament of confirmation as present in the Anglican communion. Each chapter is complete with questions and notes designed for those young people or candidates who have received a better than average education and would benefit from a more thorough and complete explanation than was currently available. The cloth is quite faded though only moderately worn. The front hinge (in the black end papers) is split with the binding still very good. The interior text is very clean with some darkening of the text block edges. 11877
