This historic book was probably owned by James G. King, Congressman in the U. House of Representatives for New Jersey's 5th District, elected in 1849 (Unverified: study signature in photo against his signature in his wikipedia article). The Sick Man Visited is a collection of meditations and prayers intended for use by sick and dying individuals. Written by Nathaniel Spinckes, an Anglican clergyman, the book offers spiritual comfort and guidance to those facing the end of their lives.
The meditations and prayers cover a wide range of topics, from the fear of death to the hope of the resurrection. The book is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and spiritual support in times of illness and distress.
