JTW...I did a little research. Take that book to an old school bookman...someone
who really knows their poop. You might have a very scarce copy of that title.
Shoot me a PM with where you're located a I'll see if I can suggest
someone who's both honest and knowledgeable.

Chub, Modern reprints have no bearing on the value of the original
printings.
JTW: Did more homework for ya..it seems the first printing was done
by the American Female Guardian Society in 1873.

Here is a copy of your printing available on Abebooks:
https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Emily-Ellets-Journal-Steps-Better-Life/11533775717/bd
Original author was: Euna Elizabeth Lay 1828-1903
Unfortunately, serious collectors generally desire only the original, first printing
of a book. Later reprints, even if called a "First Edition", are not the first published
version. The later reprints are known as a "First Thus" printing.
