Discarded" at the lower edge and "Oct. 2 1905" [presumably the date when the Atheneum had received the pamphlet] at the upper edge. Also, "H14" written but crossed through and "252" written in its stead at the top edge near the spine, probably library numbers. Back cover has two tiny paper remnants, possibly relating to the library. No other markings or signs of library ownership. Charles Henry Hall (1820-1895) was born in Georgia, attended Newton, Andover, and Yale, was ordained an Episcopal priest, served as a minister at numerous churches and also served as Chaplain at West Point, before ultimately becoming the Rector for the Church of the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights for 25 years. He also served on the Civil Service Commission in Brooklyn. 10, [2] p.; 23 cm. (9 inches). Grey stiffened, stapled wrappers. Last two, unnumbered, pages are blank.

Every species of argument has been exhausted on him, and every method of reform attempted in vain" [from page 3]
