(ii) + 225pp + 235pp + (ii)
Books measure 170mm x 110mm approximately.
Nicely bound in full brown calf. Spines with four blind-tooled slightly raised bands with gilt-boxed compartments and black title and volume labels and date in gilt to spine foot. Gilt fillet borders to boards.
CONDITION
Good condition overall with bindings holding quite firm. A few surface marks and scratches to boards with a small loss of leather to lower front hinge of vol I / II. Stain line across front board of vol III / IV. A little rubbing to hinges and spine tops and mild bumping to corners. Internally the pages are reasonably clean with some uniform dustiness and the odd spot and stain increasing towards end-papers. Margin shadowing to paste-downs. Last page of vol II missing and end-paper loose.
Please refer to the photo images for a clear indication of both condition and content.
INTERESTING
The smaller third edition of Warton's works were to make the work portable in its ability to aid. Two volumes in each binding. Warton wrote these "conversations" to aid others engaged in pastoral duties.
The preface to the work begins: "It has often occurred to me as something wonderful, that, amongst the vast variety of books, which are to be met with, on the important subject of Religion, there should still be wanted a manual for the information and direction of the Minister in his daily intercourse with sick persons and other members of his flock."
