1833 Psalms & Hymns – Miniature Antique Binding | Decorative Leather | Compact Size

A beautifully compact 1833 edition of Psalms & Hymns, published in Philadelphia for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. This miniature volume is finely bound in richly toned leather, featuring ornate gilt tooling to the spine, delicate decorative borders, and gilt edges.

The interior presents over 600 pages of devotional verse intended for public worship, offering a tangible glimpse into early 19th-century American religious life.

Two pressed leaves remain within the pages, serving as quiet, personal markers from a previous owner—adding a layer of lived history and character to the piece.

Despite signs of use, the binding remains intact and tight and all pages turn freely. The compact size, decorative elements, and early publication date make this an appealing example for collectors of miniature books, devotional works, or 19th-century bindings.

The book retains its original bright teal endpapers. Rubbing and wear to board edges and spine. Damp staining present to portions of the text block, though all pages remain legible and turn easily.

Condition: Good

Size: 2 3/4” x 4 1/2”

An early American devotional, offering both decorative presence and historical character.
