111, [1]pp., 12mo. Clean marginal tear to the last leaf, well clear of text, otherwise a sound copy, disbound. Second edition, not so stated, and possibly a reissue of the first of 1769 as the pagination and publisher are the same. Mrs. Lefevre s letters were originally published soon after her death in 1756 as Letters upon Sacred Subjects and became even more important to Methodists after John Wesley published this selection of extracts. Charles Wesley eulogized her in a manuscript poem in his own copy. Mrs. Lefevre clearly had more than spiritual charms. John Wesley described her as a "dove-like woman, full of faith and humble love." But Wesley s wife thought there was more to it than that, and dared question, as Wesley put it. "if I did not lie with her." ESTC locates four copies in North America (Duke, Emory, Southern Methodist, and Wesleyan).
