Tracts for Spiritual Reading for First Communions 1875 Rev J Furniss Acceptable

P.J. Kenedy, 1875. Antiquarian cloth bound hardcover of Tracts for Spiritual Reading, Designed for First Communions, Retreats, Missions, Etc. by Rev. J. Furniss, C.S.S.R..

Appears to have been previously owned by Miss Mary Ann Trainor of 145 Madison Avenue, New York City. Handwriting interpretation here is a best effort.

A collection of Catholic spiritual tracts, primarily for children preparing for First Communion and retreats. The author uses vivid, sometimes stark language to stress the seriousness of mortal sin and its consequences, while simultaneously guiding young readers toward God's love, repentance, and a life of piety.

Acceptable. Back cover is extremely scuffed and soiled. Spot stains to the right edge of the page block. Binding good. Slight lean to the spine. Interior pages crisp and clean. Previous owner's info to the first blank page. Solid reading copy.
