Additional Description

Abstract

Flyleaf is inscribed: "The following is the substance of a Treatise by that eminent and experienced servant of the Lord Samuel Bownas. But it has in a few places been extended and in some others a little curtailed, to adapt it to the feelings of the Transcriber, and to his own private study; without any desire that others should even see this abstract of that work, which Friends have been cautious of making too publicly known. This book is the property of John L. Kite."
