Description
London: J. Dodsley / R. & J. Dodsley, 1754. Hardcover. Very Good. Full period calf binding with gilt ruled borders to boards, five raised bands with gilt compartment decorations, red leather spine label, gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, printed on laid paper, 8-1/4" x 5-1/4", 455 + 112 pp. "Resurrection" is the 6th edition 1767; "St. Paul" is the 5th edition, 1754. Small chip to head of spine, ownership inscription dated 1768 on the "Resurrection" title page. Both West and Lyttleton were notable poets of their day; Lyttleton was also a patron of the arts, and Henry Fielding's "Tom Jones" is dedicated to him. Both men also had an interest in landscape design. These two works of theology represent another of their interests; Lyttleton's has an interesting thought experiment about Quakers (p. 95): "If, for Instance, A Quaker should in a Meeting of his own Sect, tell all the Persons assembled there, that to some among them was given the Gift of Healing by the Spirit of God, to others the working of other Miracles, to others diverse kinds of Tongues, they would undoubtedly account him a Madman, because they pretend no such Gifts." He goes on from there.
