and a brass clasp. A small (silver?) crest is attached to the front
cover, on which is engraved: "Church / Service" in Gothic letters.
It is not known how long the book has been in the Perth Museum, or who
was the donor.
The short inscription is written in ink on the second blank right-hand
page (the page after the fly-leaf).
