[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4476963, member: 84"]Looking through a drawer of antique books I have (and had forgotten about) I found this one: Geschichte des volkes israel vos Heinrich Ewald (something like - The history of the Jewish people) printed in 1864. The unusual thing - I thought - was a label inside the front cover that this book was granted(?) to a Joseph Estin by the Hibbert Trustees on Dec 3, 1869 Googling The Hibbert Trust I found it was a trust to promote Christianity? Googling the book's title I wasn't able to find another edition for sale, but I found a website that you could read it because it had been reproduced from the original - but it also said this about the book: [I][B]This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
