Description

Leather Binding, Scarce

An early edition of this scarce work, which was first published in 1773.

By Thomas Boston, this work is a religious text, exploring what it means to be a true believer. The work is presented through several discourses, all intended to promote the comfort and direction of Christians, and to improve society.

Boston was a Scottish Presbyterian church leader, a man of singular piety who is best known for his 1720 work 'Human Nature in Its Fourfold State'. 

Including a soliloquy on the art of man-fishing.
