(CALLIGRAPHY.) Small Autograph Album with numerous salutations in foreign languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, Canarese, Telugu, Chinese, Bengali, and a few other languages, along with the majority of salutations in English. Includes the Lord's Prayer in miniature Mongolian, contained in a triangle with each side 1 1/4 inches long. Almost all salutations are religious in nature, so it may be assumed that the young lady who kept the album was from a religious family with ties to missionaries. 8vo, original roan, covers loose and backstrip lacking. England, 1830s-70s
