About this Item

12mo, (165x100mm), xxii,[2],154p. Some occasional slight browning internally, but generally a nice copy in contemporary (?original) sprinkled sheep, rear joint split but holding. (ESTC 126214) The first provincial edition of Freame's classic of Quaker literature and somewhat rare; Estc records only 3 copies in England and 1 in North America. First published in 1713 and originally prepared for the use of the author's children, the publication of this edition was undertaken by the Bristol Men's-Meeting and seems to have brought the work to greater prominence as it was reprinted several times thereafter, primarily for the use of the Quaker schools for the poor. Please note that the advised postage is based on an average book, if possible the postage will be reduced to the correct amount and you will be notified by email.
