A View of the Expected Christian Millennium, Which is Promised in the Holy Scriptures, and is Believed to be Nigh Its Commencement. And Must Transpire Before the Conflagration of the Heavens and Earth. Embellished with a Chart of the Dispensations from Abraham to the End of Time By Josiah Priest, Published for Subscribers, Loomis Press, Albany, 1827, folding frontispiece, 372 pp, original leather, 7.5 x 4.75 , 12mo. In fair condition. Moderate wear to extremities with numerous scratch marks to surface of leather. Leather remains soft and rich in color. Areas of dryness at edges and joints. Spine creasing with light crushing at ends. Interior lightly toned with moderate foxing, heavy at times. Folding frontis complete and in working order. Text block lightly rippled from previous humidity exposure. Free of known marginalia or ownership. Binding tight and intact. Please see photos. An extremely scarce first edition, particularly rare with frontispiece depicting Priest s Divine Dispensations Chart. The chart is rarely found intact. A popular title reprinted at least seven times in two years. Priest is best known for his pseudoscientific writings about Native Americans. He was also a friend of Oliver Cowdrey, one of the founders of Mormonism, and, while it is not known if Cowdrey ever read this work, proponents of the theory that Cowdrey partially wrote the Book of Mormon point to parallels with Christian Millenium.
