Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
[2],66pp. Frontis. Small quarto. Antique- style three-quarter speckled calf and marbled boards, gilt morocco label. Text trimmed a bit close, shaving the bottom of five words on one page. Some light foxing. Very good. From the Library of the Earls of Macclesfield, with bookplate on front pastedown. Second edition of this collection, after the first of 1706. The Society was charged with propagating the gospel in many far-flung regions, including to the Indians of the British colonies in North America and to blacks in the West Indies. Included is the charter granted the Society by King William III, the Society's request for fit ministers to be sent abroad, a description of the qualifications of such ministers, the standing orders of the Society, and instructions for clergy and schoolmasters as to how they should comport themselves when on their missions. One chapter is devoted to prayers for schools in America. The final two chapters give a list of the members of the Society and a "Catalogue of the Missionaries Library." The frontispiece is a woodcut of the Society's emblem, which features a missionary, gospel in hand, standing on the deck of a ship approaching a shore crowded with waiting natives. EUROPEAN AMERICANA and OCLC together locate only six copies of this second edition. A scarce and informative volume on the operations and philosophy of this important missionary organization. EUROPEAN AMERICANA 712/205. OCLC 228754493, 54182866, 460606759. SABIN 85934 (note). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM43360
