1936 - A SPECIAL BOOK CONTAINING A SPECIAL SOUVENIR - IN THE STEPS OF ST. PAUL BY H.V. MORTON

FIRSTLY A RATHER SPECIAL FIRST EDITION WRITTEN BY H.V. MORTON AND PUBLISHED BY RICH & COWAN IN 1936 DESCRIBING THE AUTHOR'S JOURNEY TO THE HOLY LAND WHERE HE FOLLOWED THE STEPS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL - TEN CHAPTERS ON THE LANDS PAUL VISITED AS WELL AS AN APPENDIX ABOUT THE MAN HIMSELF.   BOOK IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION - A RATHER THICK BOOK - 19CM X 13CM WITH 440 PAGES.

SECONDLY, INSIDE THE BOOK I FOUND SOME INTERESTING ITEMS - A BOOKMARK, AN INSPIRING ARTICLE FROM THE CAPE ARGUS OF 1950 AND A SOUVENIR - A SILVER LEAF FROM TABLE MOUNTAIN THAT WAS SOLD/HANDED OUT AT THE EMPIRE EXHIBITION HELD IN JOHANNESBURG IN 1936 - THIS EXHIBITION WAS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND HELD OUTSIDE OF BRITAIN AND HAD VARIOUS PAVILIONS INCLUDING A CAPE HOUSE PAVILION AND A PALESTINE TEMPLE PAVILION SO I SUSPECT THE BOOK WAS PURCHASED AT THE PALESTINE PAVILION AND THE SILVER LEAF AT CAPE HOUSE WHERE IT WAS PLACED INSIDE THE BOOK AND  WHERE IT LASTED ALL THESE YEARS.  SOMEHOW MAKES THE BOOK MORE SPECIAL TO ME.       REFER IMAGES
