- Notes
- Spring's best-known short work, first published in New York in 1813 by Dodge and Sayre as Essays on the Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character; Don Kistler edited this edition, making spelling, grammar, and formatting changes, and it is printed on acid-free paper. No longer listed on The Northampton Press's own site. Bibliographic details here are confirmed against the copyright page of a physical copy and the Library of Congress record: 144 pages, illustrated, 23 cm, LC class BV4501.3 .S6645 2009, Dewey 248.4. This is also the volume that owns ISBN 978-0-9798579-8-0 — an ISBN a retailer's product handle had wrongly attached to Burroughs's The Saints' Happiness, catalogued separately.
