About this copy
This is the Standard Edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern, combining the Second Edition (originally 1868) hymn texts with both the First and Second Supplements (1875 and 1916). The bibliographical note in this copy confirms the Standard Edition was formally issued in 1916, and the Preface is dated Midsummer 1924, indicating this particular typesetting dates from that period. No specific reprint date for this individual copy is stated on the pages photographed.
The book is bound in brown cloth boards, blind-embossed with a cross and decorative border design to the front, and stamped 'No FF2' to the rear board, suggesting former use in a parish or institutional setting. The front free endpaper bears an early owner's inked name, 'L. A. Hance'.
Condition
- Book
- Good – sound, complete text block with expected age-toning; wear and rubbing to spine ends and corners; a strip of tape repair is visible to the front hinge/pastedown area; owner's name inked to the front free endpaper.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
