American Sacred Songs (Translated into the Armenian Language)

Clean and VG+ to Near Fine in its light-purple wrappers, with mild lighening along the spine. The original text, in English, at each recto, its Armenian translation to each facing verso. 16mo, a number of the signatures (maybe half or more) uncut. A wonderful piece of mid to late 19th century Americana -- and Armeniana. Very Good +. Item #24224
