About this Lot
Description

[Marsh, J. B. T.]. The Story of the Jubilee Singers; with Their Songs. Third edition. Completing twenty-fifth thousand. (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1876). 232 p., tipped-in Woodburytype frontispiece depicting the ten singers sitting & standing around a circular table, with their names printed below.

From the preface: "This volume covers the same events as the two Jubilee histories which were written by Rev. G. D. Pike, and which have had such a wide circulation---one giving an account of the first campaign in American, and the other of the first visit to Great Britain. But the interval between these two narratives is here bridged over, and the story is brought down to the present time. The personal histories have been more fully written out, and a large number of new songs have been added, including several of the most favourite pieces ever given in the Jubilee concerts."---Note, J.B.TM., London, Nov. 6, 1875. Light wear to cover.
