Beschreibung

60pp. With a wood engraved frontispiece.Contemporary gilt-ruled black half-calf, marbled boards. Extremities rubbed. An apparently unrecorded edition of an immensely popular Anti-Catholic polemic that presents not just a conversion of religion, but an inversion of class, in which a Protestant servant possesses greater religious authority in matters of faith than a French Catholic noblewoman. This edition, by design, does not contain the prefatory letter 'sent from a French Protestant Minister in France, to his Friend in London, with the following Relation', signed A. D'Auborn, present in the majority of versions. ESTC records copies of an edition, with the imprint 'T. Sabine and Son' and running to 64pp, at just two locations (BL and Cardiff). Size: 12mo.
