This is an 1810 reprint (28th edition) of a much earlier publication by Jer. Taylor, chaplain in ordinary to King Charles the First. The full title continues: In which are described the means and instruments of obtaining EVERY VIRTUE and the remedies against every vice and CONSIDERATIONS serving to the resisting all Temptations together with PRAYERS containing the whole duty of a Christian and the parts of Devotion fitted for all occasions and furnished for all Necessities. The Preface is by the editor, Thomas Thurwell, dated January 19th, 1807, Mile-End. This is followed by the dedication by the author to the Right Honourable and Truly Noble Richard, Lord Vaughan, Earl of Carberry, Knight of the Honourable Order of the Bath. Leather boards with just visible titles and decorative motives (in gilt) along the spine. Condition: if they were shoes, you would want to polish them. The spine s leather is very rubbed in places. NB the lower board has detached from the book block. The upper one is attached but fragile and on the reverse pastedown side features an adhesive fibre tape (image). Internally, the pages are generally quite tanned and occasionally spotted - more evident on the book s preliminary and final pages. Despite the structural weaknesses, the binding remains remarkably tight for a book over two centuries old and generally the majority of the text is very clean, crisp and readable. Please also be aware that there are some ink signatures etc on the front pastedown and ffep (image). There is also some marginalia (in ink and pencil) to be found in the first three sections of Chapter One but none subsequently, ceteris paribus (image). pp. xix, 288/8vo. Please note that, depending on destination, we may request an additional payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges. Proceeds to Amnesty International. Abe2344.…
