Spine for Newman's An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine 8 5/8 x 5 1/4 inches 1845 black buckram boards with paper label This first edition of Newman's famous work of religious controversy bears the label of "Simms & Dinham, Booksellers and Stationers, Exchange Street, Manchester." Many prosperous individuals and organizations would have had such a volume rebound in leather. The fact that this copy remained in its original form suggests that its owner was a serious but not very wealthy student of contemporary religious issues [GPL]. ReferencesNewman, John Henry. An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. London: James Toovey, 1845.
