(ESTC 79987) Estc locates only three copies of this uncommon edition of a popular contemporary devotional work. A previous owner has taken exception to some of the devotions included herein by overscoring totally a few words on one page. Furthermore a large section on pages 18 and 19 have been excised with a single pen stroke removing the request for '. mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and heretics. King George. and all the Royal Family.' one wonders if this was done by a Jacobite and/or Catholic.
