    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding, Very Scarce

    The very scarce first edition of this work.

    A second edition - also vanishingly scarce - was published in 1826.

    Arranged in question and answer format, in his work Rev. Charles Birch provides explanations and context for the 'collects of our excellent church', referring to the set form of the short prayer used in Christian liturgy.

    The author explains that questions from children under his care prompted the construction of this work.

    With an errata leaf preceding the contents list.

    Condition

    In a half calf binding with marbled paper covered boards. Gilt detailing to back strip. A touch of rubbing to back strip head and tail. Head and tail of front hinge a touch strained, but firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. A touch of spotting to title page. Pages clean and bright.

    Very Good
