30pp. Disbound, lightly toned. Lacking the half title. Good+. With the ownership signature of Joseph Bloomfield. Sproat's "Advertisement" explains, "in consideration of the mournful Circumstances, in which a great Number of his Hearers were placed, by the late awful Calamity, he designedly presented a wider and more general View of his Subject, than would have been given, if a single Death had, alone, been in Contemplation." That "Calamity" was Philadelphia's Yellow Fever epidemic, with "persons of every age and every character, becoming, in multitudes, the undistinguished victims of the king of terrors. And-- alas! the shepherd has been smitten with the flock." But Green offers "strong consolation" in the fact "that the death of his saints is precious in the sight of the Lord." Beginning at page 20, Green gives "A Sketch of the Life and Character of Dr. Sproat." Evans 27065. ESTC W3111. Seller Inventory # 39172
