PRAYER BOOK
Mrs. Thomas Best has a Prayer Book which belonged to her great— grandmother, Mrs. John Martin Heartz, who, with her parents and bro- thers and sisters, emigrated to this country from Coote Hill, County Caven, Ireland, in the year 1801. This Book was printed in EFFEX STREET, DUBLIN, IRELAND, in the year 1729. The paper used in printing is grey in color. The pages are not numbered, but the first word in the first line of each page is printed below the last word of the last line on the previous page. The letters are old—English type, the letter “s” is printed “f”, with the exception of a plural noun, when the design is “s”. The cover is made of leather.
