From the introduction: "Thomas Traherne (1637-74) was born near, and educated in Hereford, and then at Brasenose College in Oxford. In 1660 he was ordained Priest and, in 1661, appointed to the parish of Credenhill, near Hereford. In 1669 he moved to Teddington to take up the position of Chaplain to Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. There, or in London, while still nominally Rector of Credenhill, he remained until he died. Traherne published only one work during his lifetime and signed none of his manuscripts. But for a chance purchase of unattributed papers in 1896 and much literary research, the authorship and significance of The Centuries of Meditation might have remained unknown. They were first published in 1908 with the original dedication, believed to be to Susanna Hopton." Copy No. 4. Pinhead indentation to spine, otherwise Fine in a dustwrapper which is somewhat torn at the head of the spine and has the corresponding pinhead indentation on the spine-panel.
