About This Item
[?London] Printed in the year 1797. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [ii], 109 [110 Errata], uncut, original boards (worn), crudely rebacked with paper, later notes on end-papers, lacks front free end-paper, title taped to board, rather a sad copy. With the autograph of Michael Joseph Quin (1796 - 1843), the travel writer and Catholic journalist and a few corrections or annotations in his hand; and notes on Butler and Quin on the front paste-down end-paper by "Gal. Barrori," dated 1960. Butler (1750 - 1832), a Catholic, entered Lincoln's Inn in 1775 but could not proceed to the bar, as he could not take the oath of supremacy. The above work is a learned and succinct commentary on the Old and New Testaments as well as the sacred texts of other religions. The previous owner of this copy, Quin, when he was editing the Monthly Review and the Catholic Journal, while supporting Catholic emancipation, might very well have made Butler's acquaintance.
