This is a rare 1852 edition of “Bible Histories for Children: The Patriarchs, The Prophets, The Apostles,” published by the American Baptist Publication Society in Philadelphia. The book bears the subtitle “The Apostles” on its spine and features marbled boards with a leather spine, characteristic of mid-19th century bindings. The title page confirms the publishing date, and the contents include stories about key biblical figures: John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, James and John, Stephen, and Paul. Its compact size and illustrated pages were designed for young readers. A historical piece reflecting early American religious education, the book exhibits age-related wear, including edge rubbing and some separation at the spine, but retains complete pages and legible text. This volume offers collectors insight into Christian pedagogy and publishing history from the antebellum United States.
