Fair naskhī, in red and black., For the supposed author see Brockelmann, S II, p. 743., In the incipit "Muḥammad" is written over an erased "Ibrāhīm," and there is also an erasure in the same place on the title page.

Description:
Henry Franklin Shearman was involved with several land companies (including the American Railway Securities and Land Agency, the North American Land Association, and the Minnesota Land and Farming Company) that encouraged English investment in the American West during the late 1870s. In 1880 Shearman established a company in London that arranged contracts between American farmers in need of labor and young English men interested in learning about American farm life. As Shearman conceived the program, the immigrants would work as "farm pupils" for a period of years before purchasing their own farms in the United States. The business, which became known as the American Colonization Company, was transferred to Ford, Rathbone & Walter in 1882. The next seven years brought frequent changes in name and ownership as the program expanded to include farm placements in the Northwest, Canada, and Tasmania. William Wilbraham Ford held interests in the companies throughout the period, and continued operations under his own name after 1889. and Items originally mounted in scrapbook.
