This is an amazing, very rare, antique book (Civil War era) about life-after-death, after-death communication, angels and more! Shadows of the Absent, the intercourse of departed spirits with their friends on Earth, full leather hard cover published by Houlston & Wright, 1867 (American Civil War era). Ex-library with numerous markings but all readable.
Wear as expected for an ex-library this age over 150 years! Minor to moderate wear with more wear to leather cover edges. Binding is a bit weak but holding. Tape repairs along the spine.
