1772 GEORGE WHITEFIELD. First Edition Memoirs of the Life of the Reverend George Whitefield.
Probably the best example of the first edition of Gillies' classic, first-hand life and memoir of George Whitefield we expect to see. A very attractive binding, retaining the very desirable frontis which was often pilfered, and textually quite crisp and clean.
