First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd ed. (with some changes). 408p. Original cloth backed boards. 20 cm. Backstrip has vertical crease. Significant foxing throughout text. A couple of signatures pulled (one of which is partially detached at bottom). Parsons, born in Massachusetts and a graduate of Middlebury College and Andover Theological Seminary, was accepted as a missionary in 1817 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He spent raising money for the American Board, partly for the establishment of a mission in Palestine. Parsons arrived in Palestine in 1821 and stayed for only four or five months. His health failed after he left and he died in Alexandria, Egypt, in February, 1822. The first edition of this work was published (with a shorter title) in 1824.
