1702033305<p>London: Printed and Sold by T Sowle in the White-Hart-Court in Gracious Street 1702 A fair copy of the 6th edition in contemporary full panelled calf. This work was originally written by Penn 1644-1718 in 1669 while imprisoned in the Tower of London and it sets out the Quaker principles of self sacrifice and simple service to God. The calf binding is worn with splits at the spine joints some leather loss on the back board close to the spine and some loss to spine ends and corners. The boards are attached but only by their strings. It is well worth repairing. Internally some of the front pastedown has been removed. Contents with title blank verso; preface 8 pp; contents 14 pp; catalogue of names 4 pp; text pp 1-324; Title to the Second Parte 1702; preface 2pp; text pp 187; The prayer 1 pp Finis; book list 2pp. Margins are quite tight throughout and there is browning and marking - particularly in the margins. There has been worm activity: there is a tiny hole at the bottom margin of the title page which becomes a small track entering the bottom couple of lines of text or becoming small holes at times. The text is still readable. The stitching is generally sound - the bottom gather is occasionally a little loose. There is some mispagination but the ties work: Part 1 - 36-73-38; Part 2 185-141-99. The printer's book list at the end has a tear at the top. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.</p> Printed and Sold by T Sowle, in the White-Hart-Court, in Gracious Street hardcover
