What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Very Scarce
Illustrated throughout with some fifteen engraved plates, including a frontispiece and an engraved title page. New edition, to which is added an appendix. Richard Burnham (1711 1752) was an English clergyman and biographer. Born in Guildford, Surrey, he collected the dying sayings of more than a hundred pious persons and compiled the Pious Memorials, published in 1753 after his death. The Pious Memorials were reprinted at Paisley in 1788 with additions, and again enlarged in 1789. It was reprinted with a continuation by the Rev. George Burder in 1820, forming a large octavo volume, and a there was a later stereotyped reprint. Having said all that however, all editions seem now unobtainable.
