Additional Notes:

Fourth‑edition Methodist biographies printed by Hitt & Ware are collectible due to their association with early American Methodism and the rapid expansion of the denomination during the early 1800s. Pocket‑sized devotional biographies were heavily used, making intact survivors—especially with original leather boards—less common. Library embossing provides a traceable provenance to a historic Rhode Island institution. Please Review Photos.
