About This Item
Hardback. Fair. This, the first edition of Smalridge's sermons, was published by William and John Innes in London in 1726 but this copy lacks both the title page and the engraved portrait frontispiece although it does have the 4pp publisher's catalogue at the end, dated 1725. Folio, pp [6, remaining prelims], [xx, subscribers to the work], [xix, Contents], 616, [iv, publisher's catalogue]. Contemporary panelled calf, spine gilt and with six raised bands, the covers rubbed and torn and with both boards detached; some older water staining on the inner corners of the last few leaves but otherwise internally in good, clean condition, albeit with a little browning here and there, and tightly bound. This is essentially a reference or binding copy which, were it repaired in the binding would become a very acceptable copy of the work. Smalridge, 1662-1719, was Bishop of Bristol from 1714-1719 and was esteemed on account of the quality of his sermons, Samuel Johnson considering them to be of the highest class. A Jacobite at a time of Hanoverian rule, this may have affected his advancement. NOTE: this volume weighs just over 3kg and so may attract a carriage supplement, depending on ultimate location and methods of sending.
