This is an ad for History of Base Ball, Vol. 1 (1845-1871) by Seymour Church (sometimes referred to as "the Church book"). As far as I can tell (from some online research) it was an inset to another of Church's books Analyses of Pig Iron or maybe an actual page in the book (although what I have is thicker stock than a book page and does not appear to have been taken from a bound book).
