Published in New York by the Auxiliary New-York Bible and Common Prayer Book Society and printed at the Protestant Episcopal Press, 1836.
This is a wonderful nearly 190-year-old piece of American Episcopal and religious history. There are handwritten names/inscriptions from previous owners on the title page, adding to its character and provenance.
