Presentation copy from the author to Wm. Sommerville, Esq.. and dated Nov. 26th, 1877. The book is the account of the founding of the chapel along the docks in Aberdeen, Scotland, started by Rev. Wilson, an apparently well-known pastor & temperance spokesman in England and Scotland. He was also well-acquainted with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who supported his chapel. He appears to have written eight books, and this one was apparently his last. All titles are very scarce, and this title is found in only one library. While much of the volume has to do with the spiritual life with a purpose to personal reform from alcohol, there are interesting social and ethic insights, such as having to do with the witness of the Gospel to Muslims.

Not dated, but quite apparently issued shortly after the United States entrance into World War I in the spring of 1917, these are extracts from the address of President Woodrow Wilson to be "read carefully by every one who produces or can produce food and by all who consume food." This broadside was particularly a call for farmers to be especially efficient in production, for young men & boys to spare no labor in their farm work, for middlemen to be honest & not ring up big profits, & for households (wives) to grow gardens & otherwise be productive. Masthead reads, FARMERS! HOUSEWIVES! CHILDREN! THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES APPEALS TO YOUR PERSONALLY. "We must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen not only, but also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made common cause." The broadside is 21"x 30". It is folded & in very good condition with a few short margin tears & a couple of edge tears at folds. There are a total of six black & white half-tone photos, three at the top & three at the bottom.
