About This Item
London: Printed for F. and C. Rivington..., 1797. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, 203 x 125 mms., pp. [iii] iv - xvi, 508, with two preliminary leaves, a-a2, pp. xix - xx and [xvii] - xviii misbound between pages 498 and 499 and [xxiii] - xxiv, and xxi -xxii misbound between pages 502 and 503, but complete, contemporary lightly speckled calf, gilt rules across spine, red leather label; corners slightly crushed, mild wear to extremities, but a very good to fine copy with the armorial bookplate of Lady Frances Bentinck on the front paste-down end-paper, and the autograph "J. Bentinck/ April 1797" on the recto of the front free end-paper. Samuel Glasse (1734 – 1812) had a very good academic career, receiving at B. A. from Oxford in 1756, an M. A. in 1759, and his B. D. and D. D. in 1769. The British Critic and Quarterly Theological Review for 1798 reviewed the book favourably, concluding that a reader would be "instructed in the history of these pre-eminent Christians, and in the advantages which he ought to derive from their examples. The principal Festivals are also introduced into the Lectures and are treated with ability, and with that warm but judicious attachment to the genuine doctrines of Christianity, which is highly honourable to the author, and is calculated to produce the best effects upon the reader."
