A Presbyter of the Suffering Church of Scotland A Treatise of Infallibility, Showing That the Church of Rome's Claim to That High Privilege is Without Foundation in Scripture, Antiquity, or Reason. In answer to a Paper on That Subject By a Popish Missionary
Edinburgh W. Gordon 1752 First Edition Full Calf Fair 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
300pp. There's really nothing like venting your spleen, is there? Here the mightily hacked-off Presbyter sets a couple of things straight - in addition there are some 'Animadversions on a Book, entituled 'The Shortest Way to End Disputes about Religion', and upon that Author's way of reasoning'. The text is very good, very clean and the binding's good and tight. However, the calf-covered boards appear to be slightly different sizes, so it's not possible to stand the book upright! And the top inch of the spine has been considerably eaten away, to the page edge, with some other minor damage elsewhere. Title label is mostly extant, with title fully legible. 36b

250pp. 38 b&w and 7 colour illustrations (most of these are full-page plates, some of the b&w are in-text illustrations). Very nicely typeset, in a slightly folksy American style.

Grey paper jacket quite grubbied and very chipped along the head, with some losses and is a bit speckled; spine is a tad rolled.
