Memories of Father Healy of Little Bray

For Sale – “Memories of Father Healy of Little Bray” (1899 Macmillan & Co. Edition)

A rare antique hardback copy of Memories of Father Healy of Little Bray, published by Macmillan & Co., London/New York in 1899.

Bound in deep green cloth boards with gilt lettering on the spine and a gilt decorative emblem on the front cover. The book has charming age-toned pages (natural cream to light tan) with that unmistakable antique character. The spine shows minor rubbing at the edges and light mottling consistent with age.

According to the imprint, this copy is from the 1899 reprint of the Second Edition (originally first published in 1895).

Printed by Billing and Sons, Guildford.

This copy contains an inserted photograph – likely placed there by a previous owner – adding to its character and history. Whether part of the original publication or a later personal addition, it’s an interesting extra touch for collectors.

Overall condition:

Tight binding for its age

Some light foxing (speckling) on certain pages

Slight corner and spine wear

Decorative boards remain bright and intact

A wonderful addition for collectors of Irish history, religious biographies, or 19th-century Macmillan publications.
