About This Item
London, Printed for the Author & Sold by Seeley & Son., 1830. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Tall 8vo, 212 x 123 mms., pp. xi [xii blank], 122 [123 Advertisement, 124 colophon], including list of subscribers, engraved title-page (water-stained at edges, also slightly foxed), one full-page engraved plate, original boards, uncut, paper label on spine, which is slightly defective with some paper missing, top and base of spine chipped, but a good copy with a pencil inscription on the recto of the front free end-ppaer: "Ellen [?De gonville/ the gift of her [blank]"; and on the verso of the rear free end-paper, "Miss Hasselll/ the gift of/ Doctor [?Crawford]/ ... [as yet undeciphered." From the "Advertisement" after the list of subscribers: "The Work now produced, is the composition of the Author, with the exception of three extracts, one called Mary's Lament, another Lines, by the late Dr. Stennet, and a few lines from Handel." It has to be said that the short devotional essays that make up the volume are unlikely to be deemed excitingly original. Copac locates six printed copies in UK libraries; OCLC adds Wisconsin and Princeton, while WorldCat gives a large number that turn out to be electronic copies.
