Description
Offered here is a 1922 hardcover copy of The Victory Over Victory, a religious and devotional work by Rev. John A. Hutton, with unusually strong ministerial provenance connecting three named clergy figures across its ownership history.
This copy is especially interesting for its layered church-history association. The front includes a memorial bookplate stating that books were presented to Christ Church in loving memory of The Rev. John E. Clancy, noted as having served sixty-two years in the Methodist Ministry. The facing page includes a stamped ownership mark, “From the library of: R. A. Hill,” along with a handwritten presentation inscription to Rev. Raymond Hill from Rev. Lamar Robinson, dated 5/21/98, upon retirement from active ministry.
