Thank you Steve Gertz from David Brass Rare Books for the following comment to this post:

Bookmark and use the Karlsruher Virtualler Katalog (KVK) http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/hylib/en/kvk.html
as a primary resource way beyond Google or Yahoo searches. KVK has records for just about every institutional library in the world as well as integrating WorldCat (OCLC).KVK and WorldCat are used constantly by members of the trade to see how rare a title is, to sort out various editions of a title,etc.,etc.
Alas, no records whatsoever for this title, beyond what was apparently a reprint NY: Whittaker, n.d. (c.1900). Based only upon the info provided, yes, the book is rare but with little collectable value; a weak title as a children’s book, illus. book, theological book. Slap $75-$100 on it and see what happens; you can always lower the price. Higher than that? You’ll have to spin and weave quite a tale to pump it up.

Best,
Steve Gertz
