Author: Katharine Pearson Woods
Title: John A Tale of the King MessiahPublisher: Dodd, Mead And Company
Date: 1896Edition: First Edition
Format: HardcoverSize: 8vo
Pages 346"Around the ruins of what had once, however rude and poor, been the beginnings of happy homes, and the cradle of civic freedom, the fierce Syrian auxiliaries of Imperial Rome lay drinking, gaming, and laughing, as they shared the spoils to which none had been left alive to dispute their claim, so far as they knew or could control the matter. The Village, said moreover to be the refuge of certain escaped slaves, had reaped the reward of those who refuse to pay tribute to Rome, and who slay the tax-gatherers sent to collect the same. Such a crime is surely worthy of death, and the more as it is one wherein the whole land of Judea and Galilee would gladly become accomplice; but from this, so telling an example will assuredly serve to deter them."

Sobre biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
