A very nice first edition of Jemima Luke's autobiography, written 59 years after [1841] she penned the words to the influential 19th century hymn, I Think when I Read that Sweet Story of Old. And this example inscribed by Jemima Luke to E. F. Strickland.
Nice little account of her writing of the hymn, here: https://www.ccel.org/ccel/ryden/hymnstory.c50.html
Luke, Jemima. Early Years of My Life. London. Hodder and Stoughton. 1900. 163pp.
Good original cloth, some foxing to cloth. Neatly inscribed by Luke, authoress of the famed hymn, “I think when I read that sweet story of old."
