The recollections of Jotham Anderson, minister of the gospel
Boston: published at the Christian Register Office. John B Russell, printer, 1824. 12mo, pp. 118, [2]; original plain paper-covered boards; spine partially perished, but otherwise generally very good. Inscribed on the flyleaf: "Given / with a wish that the little Tract / may be read in the school / It is presented to the Trustees of the Female / Academy in Augusta / by their affectionate / friend the / Founder." Also, inscribed in the same hand on the title page: "For the use / of the Female / Academy / May 1824." The Cony Female Academy, which was founded in 1816 by Daniel Cony, provided free education to orphans and other girls under the age of 16. The inscriptions are almost certainly in Daniel Cony's hand.
