8vo. 5.25 x 7.75 inches. [2] + 8 + 192 + [8] pp. Bound in original mottled calf with gilt borders; spine rebacked, in compartments with raised bands, with blind stamped decoration and titles. Some foxing and browning and light wear consistent with age, but otherwise a very good copy. Illustrated by 10 copper. plates, including portrait frontispiece. Decorated by Royal Arms at head of dedication and by endpiece vignettes. Although eleven plates are called for on the title page, there is no evidence that more than ten appeared in the published version; copies in Library Hub that record plate numbers, report only ten. A guide to the New Testament for school and family use written in the form of a Catechism. The commentaries include information on church history and festivals, with the Supplement providing a further account of astronomy, time, the seasons, months and years. At the end are prayers and tables of scriptural measures and proper names. Little appears to be known concerning the author, the Rev. Christopher Brown the Younger, whose portrait engraving forms the frontispiece. (ESTC N 172080). THEOLOGY/HISTORY BIBLES THEOLOGY- CHURCH BIBLES 18TH CENTURY ILLUSTRATED THEOLOGY/HISTORY.
