Facsimile reprint. Elephant Folio, 11" x 17". Two loose pages, the first describing the facsimile, the second the facsimile plate itself printed on quality paper in two colors. Letter to the Rev. George Harbin, the Non-juror, chaplain to Viscount Weymouth, explaining, in answer to censures of "Mr. Pitts," his action when "deprived" with the other Non-juror Bishops in 1691; 8 Dec. [1709?] Holograph. [Add. MS. 32,095, f. 401]. The letter was probably written in answer to an anonymous pamphlet entitled "The Character of a Primitive Bishop", published in 1709. The writer, who styles himself "A Presbyter of the Church of England" has been identified with John Pitts or Pits. See E. H. Plumptre, "The Life of Thomas Ken", 1890, ii. p. 54.
