From Preface: 'This work was originally published, above thirty yea…rs ago, under the title of the Evangelical Rambler. It has long been out of print; and its republication. . . has been recommended, as calculated to assist in arresting the progress of some popular errors and dangerous institutions, and in aiding the advancement of truth and social happiness. . . The Work. . . has undergone a very careful revision; many portions of the original have been re-written, and others omitted to make room for new matter of more interest and importance to the present time.' §The author of the Evangelical Rambler (1824) was the Reverend Timothy East; the revisions to this later, retitled version (1858; the copy offered being an 1861 reprint) are attributed to David Beveridge. Original dark blue cloth, gilt lettering, elaborate gilt and blind decoration. Spines very slightly darkened. Volume II largely unopened. Contrasting endpapers to each volume. Neat bookplate of the author & book collector Nigel Temple to front pastedown above label denoting that this copy was from the publisher's private library, & Temple's pencilled notes identifying this as a John Leighton signed binding. The binder's gilt initials JL appear at the foot of the spines & also form a very discreet part of the gilt design of the upper covers (at foot, within heart-shaped motif). Top edges rough & a bit dusty. Rear upper corners a little chafed, but a very good set, very well preserved for this fragile binding-style. (**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** - Heavy/overweight item weighing 1.9 kg packed, therefore additional postage will be required for overseas orders: International customers, please ask for a prior shipping quotation). John Leighton, binder (ilustrador).
