The product is an antique French book published in 1669 with a secret compartment. This unique book is a valuable collector’s item with a hidden compartment, making it a rare and intriguing find for book enthusiasts and collectors alike. The book, published in France, holds historical significance and is a true one-of-a-kind piece with its original content and special attributes. When I was clearing out my parents house after they passed away in 2005 I found this book.. But I always knew it was there because my father would show it to me when I was a child. Anyway I’m 75 right now and I thought maybe somebody that collects books would enjoy it. It sits on my bookshelf and I really never shared it with anyone in my family. My children are grown busy with work and raising their children, I doubt they would want it. Please message me if you would like additional information or to see more photos.

Work-Days of God; or, Science and the Bible. (1877, New & Enlarged Edition). This is one of those books that makes you stop flipping pages and say. Wait. They really printed this? Sits right at the crossroads where Victorian science, theology, fossil fever, and cosmic speculation all collided-sometimes politely, sometimes head-on. Morris, a former professor of mathematics, set out to prove that science and the Bible were not enemies, but parallel revelations of divine order. The result is a deeply earnest, occasionally jaw-dropping tour through astronomy, geology, paleontology, and theology -all filtered through a 19th-century worldview that feels alien, confident, and endlessly fascinating today. Why this book is genuinely strange (in the best way). This isn’t a dry sermon. Inside you’ll find. Pre-Adamite worlds illustrated with gigantic fossil creatures. Dramatic engravings of ammonites, prehistoric animals, and geological cataclysms. Early attempts to reconcile deep time with Genesis. Moon studies, star fields, and cosmic diagrams presented as evidence of divine design. Language that treats fossils not as curiosities-but as. The handwriting of God in stone. Victorian science wasn’t timid-and this book proves it. Eye-popping moments & themes. (Perfect for collectors who like their antiques a little unhinged). The Earth presented as a theater of successive divine experiments. Fossils framed as intentional revelations, not accidents. The natural world described as a second Bible, readable through reason. Prehistoric monsters depicted with theatrical intensity bordering on science fiction. If Jules Verne and a Sunday sermon had a very serious baby, this would be it. Physical description & condition. Date: 1877 (New & Enlarged Edition). Binding: Original black leather with deeply embossed panels and heavy gold stamping. Cover motifs: Celestial bodies, scripture banners, globes, stars, and symbolic creatures. Spine tight and square. Mild foxing, primarily on tissue guards. Plates and text clean and legible. Leather shows honest age but presents beautifully. This is the kind of book that still. Serious when you hold it. Who this is for. Collectors of 19th-century science & religion. Lovers of Victorian illustrated books. Anyone fascinated by obsolete science, lost theories, and historical worldviews. Display collectors-this binding absolutely steals a shelf.
