Softcover in wraps. Wraps are plain gray, with some chips at the edges and spine. 78 pages. Pages clean and square with only the mildest instances of foxing. Title page is faded (as though it was exposed more to the world than the other pages - perhaps before the grey wraps were added). The author was Timothy Dwight, who went on to become the President of Yale. This copy has an ownership signature on the title page, "Joseph Eckley." While the name is not unique, it may be that this is the same Joseph Eckley who was the Pastor of the Old South Church in Boston from 1777 until his death in 1811. He was Dwight's contemporary, and it was a small group of theologians and academics in the northeast at that time. A delightful association copy of an early NY imprint.
