Description
A handsome original 1927 hardcover copy of Best Sermons: Book Four, edited by Joseph Fort Newton and published by Harcourt, Brace and Company. This vintage religious anthology captures the spirit of early 20th-century Protestant preaching and makes an appealing addition to a theology library, sermon collection, or shelf of classic Christian books.
What makes this copy especially interesting is the warm contemporary Christmas 1927 presentation inscription, apparently signed by F. Stuart Kinley and written to a Reverend’s wife. That personal inscription gives the book added period character and authentic religious provenance that fits the subject perfectly. While this is not an extremely rare title, it is a genuine original 1927 edition with more appeal than an ordinary reading copy because of the inscription and its intact early cloth binding.
