Antique 1842 German language book. Looks like a religious book of some sort on Christianity under the Evangelical Church. Book was published and printed in Allentown, Pennsylvania by Gedrudt bei B. und W. Blumer.

Leather cover has much antique wear and discoloration, scratching , rubbing off. Corners and Spine is tearing, breaking off at ends. Cover is starting to pull and separate from book but is still intact. Loose front end page is half torn from binding, still attached though. Pages have foxing, wear and discoloration due to age. Seem to all be intact. Some wear around edges, but not a lot of breakage to pages. See photos. Sides of pages is yellowish color.
