[8],88pp., plus engraved portrait of Increase Mather. Antique-style calf, spine gilt. Minor foxing and soiling. Pencil notations in text. Very good. Prepared by Samuel Mather, the son of Increase Mather, this London edition is a revised and edited version of his brother Cotton's PARENTATOR., issued in Boston in 1724. It seems to be much rarer than the American edition, and far more desirable, as it contains an excellent portrait of Mather. The final three pages include a list of Increase Mather's writings. The editor notes that "instead of entertaining the reader with extracts of the funeral discourses made on the occasion of his death, or with a description of the place where he was buried, I shall exhibit a catalogue of his books."
