THE DIVINE CHARACTER VINDICATED: A review of some of the principal features of Rev. Dr. E. Beecher's recent work, entitled The Conflict of Ages, or The Great Debate on the Moral Relations of God and Man. Author: Rev. Moses Ballou. New York: J. S. Redfield, 1854. This is a subsidized first printing of most probably 50 copies to no more than 250. The book's publication was underwritten by Phineas T. Barnum, Rev. Ballou's close friend as well as a member of his church, as was the book's publisher J. S. (Justus Starr) Redfield. Indeed, Rev. Ballou, P. T. Barnum and J. S. Redfield were more than friends and business partners. The three men were, perhaps unknowingly, related. Ballou and Redfield share a common ancestor through Captain John Starr, while Barnum and Redfield have a common ancestor through Sir Thomas Barnum (the Earl Of Kent). The common bond of all three men was their Huguenot ancestry. The book measures 5.50" x 7.50" and consists of 412 text pages followed by seven pages of advertisements.
This THE DIVINE CHARACTER VINDICATED is in Good+/Very Good condition, especially for a book of this age. There are two small black markouts at top of inside front cover and a short penciled code as seen in photo. At top of the first blank page is a small penciled area including a price notation. The Seller states the book is not ex-lib and has not been rebound. The binding is tight and the spine has not been broken over. The four hardcover corners only are slightly bent, and there are minor scuffs and chipping in five or six small spots along the top and front cover edges and one small scuff on front cover, none of which are deep or affect the spine or interior pages. Although there are occasional dark foxing spots on some interior pages, these are quite small as seen in photos, and do not affect the text. The page edges only show faint age-toning. The interior pages are not yellowed but rather a dulled white. There are no rips, tears, dampstains or marks to the interior other than those noted above.
