Sobre este artículo
London, Printed and Sold by Joseph Downing..., 1704. 4to, 195 x 152 mms., pp. [viii] 7 - 63 [64 adverts], engraved frontispiece, recent full calf, gilt spine, A loosely inserted typed note kindicateds that the frontispiece and title-page have been, and that many other restorations of the work have been, and that the binding is recent. It is a very clean and good copy. Woodward (1657–1712) was, as John Spurr writes in his Oxford DNB entry, "an effective publicist and prolific author in the cause of moral reformation. On 28 December 1696 he preached one of the earliest surviving sermons before the Society for the Reformation of Manners, and he was to be its first historian. He published An Account of the Rise and Progress of the Religious Societies in the City of London, which survives appended to his collection of sermons An earnest admonition to all, but especially to young persons (1697), as well as in a 'second enlarged edition' of 1698. This was followed by the similarly themed An Account of the Societies for the Reformation of Manners (1699)."
