To see all of my items, type VAFO into the ebay search bar. HERE IS A RARE BOOK WITH QUALITY PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY. 1674 EDITION OF THE CHRISTIAN QUAKER BY WILLIAM PENN. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BOOK ARE THE SIGNATURES. -“SHADRACH WELCH SENIOR HIS BOOK 1679.” -“SHADRACH WELCH JUNIOR 1705.” -“PHILADELPHIA IN PENSYLVANIA”. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER SIGNATURES AND MANUSCRIPT WRITING IN THE BOOK BUT THESE 3 SIGNATURES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. SHADRACH WELCH IS ON THE LIST OF THE FIRST LAND PURCHASERS / LAND GRANTS OF WILLIAM PENN IN 1682. THE FACT THAT SHADRACH HAD OWNED THIS BOOK ALREADY IN 1679 MEANS THAT THIS WAS IN HIS POSSESSION WHEN HE WAS AWARDED SOME OF THE FIRST LAND OF COLONIAL PENNSYLVANIA! SOME WEAR FROM AGE & USE. THE BOOK OBVIOUSLY HAS WEAR. THE FFEP IS LACKING. THE TITLE PAGE HAS DAMAGE AND LOSSES. SOME PAGES IN THE BACK HAVE DAMAGE, LOSS, WITH SOME PAGES LACKING. GENERAL CHIPPING AND SOME MINOR LOSSES TO EDGES OF PAGES. GENERAL FOXING/BROWNING. SPINE IS NEWER. ORIGINAL COVERS. BOOK IS BEING SOLD MORE OF A HISTORIC RELIC THAN A GENERAL BOOK.
