St. Mary's Books is proud to present "The Natural History of The Bible" by H. B. Tristram. This ninth edition, published in 1898 by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, was given to an individual as the Hessey Divinity Prize at Merchant Taylors' School in 1908, presented by the Merchant Taylors' Company. Beautifully bound in polished navy leather with gilt ruled edges, an intricate gilt flower design, title and raised bands on the spine and a gilt embossed Merchant Taylors' School coat of arms on the front cover. Incredible blue marbled fore-edges continued on the endpapers and pastedowns make this a wonderfully unique book. A highly interesting and detailed account of the geography, geology and meteorology of the holy land and the plants and animals mentioned in holy scripture, complemented by charming hand-drawn illustrations. pp.viii+520. Minor fading on the back but otherwise in very good condition. This beautiful book would make a wonderful gift for natural history enthusiasts or anyone who wants to explore in more detail the accounts of the natural world provided in the Bible.
