    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding, Scarce

    The scarce first edition of this work, handsomely bound in contemporary panelled calf.

    Church of Ireland priest and leading Jacobite propagandist Charles Leslie authored this work.

    He defends the system of tithes using a theological defence, arguing that ministers of the Church have a God-given right to tithes, supporting his case with scriptural precedent and early church tradition.

    ESTC R11457

    With the armorial bookplate of William Westby to the front pastedown, with his inscription to the title page head.

    Leslie is best remembered today for his role in publicising the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe.
