Description: 1867. 114 folding pages (many split along fore-edge). Large 4to (295 x 225 mm.), orig. wrappers (somewhat frail & frayed), orig. stitching. [China]: 1867 (date of Preface). A Mongolian translation of a Chinese religious text dedicated to Guandi, or Lord Guan. "Guandi, Chinese god of war whose immense popularity with the common people rests on the firm belief that his control over evil spirits is so great that even actors who play his part in dramas share his power over demons. Guandi is not only a natural favourite of soldiers but has been chosen patron of numerous trades and professions. This is because Guan Yu, the mortal who became Guandi after death, is said by tradition to have been a peddler of bean curd early in life. "Guan Yu lived during the chivalrous era of the Three Kingdoms (3rd century CE) and has been romanticized in popular lore...as a sort of Chinese Robin Hood. When a magistrate was about to carry off a young girl, Guan Yu came to her rescue and killed the man. Guan Yu, fleeing for his life, came upon a guarded barrier. Suddenly his face changed to a reddish hue, and Guan Yu was able to pass unrecognized... "Guan Yu was captured and executed in 219 CE, but his fame continued to grow as rulers conferred successively greater titles upon him. Finally, in 1594, a Ming dynasty emperor canonized him as god of war - protector of China and of all its citizens. Thousands upon thousands of temples were constructed, each bearing the title Wu Miao (Warrior Temple) or Wu Sheng Miao (Sacred Warrior Temple). Many were built at government expense so that prescribed sacrifices could be offered on the 15th day of the second moon and on the 13th day of the fifth moon" (Britannica, online). Our book shows that the cult of Guandi spread to the Mongols. The Preface is dated bürintü jasaγči-yin ǰirγuduγar on, or Tongzhi 6, i.e., 1867. Very good copy. Very frail bamboo paper with some small tears but no loss of text.

Minor soiling and staining to wrappers. The rare updated second edition after the first of 1919, relating the story of David Jayn Manly's life from Sierra Leone to his college experiences in Indiana. The first edition was published under a different title, From the Jungles of Africa to Indiana Central University. Indian Central University is now known as the University of Indianapolis. The present work traces Manly's experiences from his village in Sierra Leone, being taught by missionaries, then his decision to leave Africa in order to obtain further education in the United States. Manly made his way to Freetown, where he traveled by ship to New York, then Indianapolis by train under the sponsorship of the Christian Endeavor Society of Indiana Central University. This edition concludes with a two-and-a-half-page update on Manly's American experiences, headed "October, 1923." Not in Work or Blockson. OCLC reports just a single copy of this edition, at the University of Indianapolis, and only two copies of the first edition (also the University of Indianapolis plus the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
