Descripción

Images size (100 x 75 mm), slight unobtrusive abrasion to verso otherwise in excellent condition. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was founded in 1701 as a missionary society to provide clergy from the Church of England to minister to the settlers and to convert non-believers in in the colonies. Dr Thomas Bray (1656-1730) was responsible for the establishment of thirty-nine parish libraries in the American colonies and the books sent out by the society carried the bookplate here affixed to the verso of the titles. This is the third state of this rare and important bookplate.
