Rare Book.
(Jackson Times.l

In prowling around in some old rec
ords and books the other day we came
across a very old volume bound in
leather. 1t is impossible to tell the
year in which it was printed, but IL
must have been i'm the Sixteenth CEN
fury or early in the Seventeenth, as
dates seem to have been entered in the
year 1874. The volume was bought by
John Beck in 1862, and paid for in
English money, pounds. shillings and
pence. 1t appears to have always be-
lCnged in the Back family and be-
longed at different times to Isaac,
Lewis, John, Henry and others of the
Back generation. The book is Sc
ries of sermons by one who seems TO
have been a learned churchman and
the dedication is as follows: ITO the
Right Reverend Father in God, Will
liam, Lord Bishop of Coventry and
Lichfield Lord Almonder to thu
King"
The man who wrote the sermons,
the Lord Bishop to whom dedicated,
the king who ruled at the time and
many of the large Back family have all
passed away, but this book remains to
show the shortness of human life.
