First Edition "The Marvel of Nations Its Past, Present and Future" Book

This highly collectible 19th-century book, The Marvel of Nations It's Past, Present and Future by Uriah Smith offers a fascinating look at American history combined with biblical prophecy. Written from a late-1800s Seventh-day Adventist perspective, the author analyzes the rise of the United States and argues its specific place in Bible prophecy—notably interpreting the nation's destiny through the book of Revelation. It is filled with beautiful illustrations.  Published in 1887, this is a first edition.  Perfect for collectors of religious history, theology scholars, rare book enthusiasts, or anyone who loves beautiful 19th-century decor.  The cover has decorative embossed details. Pages have gilt edges.  This is in very good antique condition, but please see pictures.  Binding appears intact and there do not appear to be any missing pages.  I did not inspect every page, but I did not observe any writing or marks on any of the pages.  Non-smoking and non-pet home.
