    My dear aunt collected antique furniture and houses. She purchased the Carmelite nunnery in Carmel Valley near Del Mar California, refurbished it and lived in it. The nuns ran Mercy Hospital, San Diego Ca. and built the house in 1905. A Henry Clay,(not THE) desk she purchased was also in the house. Upon her passing this book was discovered in that desk, reputed to have been made somewhere in the 1800's. I would like to verify it's age if possible. TITLE: THE SEASONS,
