1794 CHARLES WESLEY. Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures. Rare Early Edition.
No copies on the market and quite scarce at auction, this is an early imprint of Charles Wesley's two volumes of hymns explicitly drawn from the Scriptures themselves.
Wesley, Charles. Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures. Complete in Two Volumes. London. Printed by G. Paramore, North-Green, Moorfields; and sold by G. Whitfield, at the Chapel, City-Road; and at the Methodist Preaching-Houses in Town and Country. 1794 and 1796. 350 + 360pp.
In original matching leather, boards detached and rubbed; text quite crisp and good generally. Volume II has a simple presentation label on the pastedown and one stamp on the title page.
I don't mind them as is, but if you prefer them rebound, we are happy to facilitate that at our cost; the single stamp could also likely be bleached. Generally, with our preferred binder, that is a 3 - 4 month wait time.
