102 pp. The first American edition. The text is preceded by an "advertisement" explaining that, while the original address was for the use of the members of the Church of England, in this version "it was thought expedient to alter or expunge a few expressions in order to make it more useful to Christians of all denominations in this country." This copy, although apparently complete, lacks the final leaf of books for sale by W. Spotswood called for by Evans. Very small and simple early bookplate on front pastedown. Evans: 33153. Quarter leather with marbled boards. Gilt spine decorations. Boards and spine worn and abraded, but intact. 18mo.
