Worth of Old Books???

[bhelton]

I was recently going through some stored items of my grandmother and came across four books and am curious about their worth. It looks as though they were given to my great-great grandmother. They are the following:

1. Posthumous Works of the Rev. Henry B. Bascom D.D. LL.D.
Vol. III Published by E. Stevenson & J.E. Evans 1856

2. Newton on the Prophecies -- Dissertations on The Prophecies
By Thomas Newton, D.D. Philadelphia - Thomas W. Hartley 1886

3. The Book of Common Prayer Cambridge Edition
New York Bible & Common Prayer Book Society
James Pott & Company
Lucien Moore Robinson
1929

4. Family Bible with Notes Vol. II
Job to Malachi
(possible published in 1816 or 1866?)

Would appreciate anyone offering information on these books.

Thank you,

3. The Book of Common Prayer Cambridge Edition
New York Bible & Common Prayer Book Society
James Pott & Company

I think I've seen that one sold for around $20

2. Newton on the Prophecies -- Dissertations on The Prophecies
By Thomas Newton, D.D. Philadelphia - Thomas W. Hartley 1886

I had the 1823 version of this book. Put it up on Ebay and it sold for $25. Hope this helps.
