"A very rare set dealing with the essentials of Church History, beginning with the Bible. The book is dedicated to youth in a long and serious preface. The illustrations are of an exceptionally high standard and beautifully designed and engraved. The two volumes are hardly ever found together. Even the famous collection of Vera von Rosenberg, described in Mikrobiblion, No. 30, contained only the first volume." Spielmann 227. (2)
