A beautifully preserved first edition of Hollier's translation of Chrysostom on the spiritual life, doctrine, character, and faithful duties of the Christian minister. A lovely volume.
This particular copy, from the subscribers' first edition, was that of Lloyd Kenyon [1732-1802]. Whether the marginal notes, which are interesting and rather extensive, are his or not is unclear.
The marginal notes add significantly, including a mss admonition to women to cease meddling in Church government, many devotional and practical reflections on clergy of the 18th century, etc., etc.,
