Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for the Author; and sold by J. Mathews..., C. Dilly..., and by the Booksellers in Leicester, 1793. 4 volumes. 12mo, pp. [vii], viii - xi [xii Contents], 443 [444 blank]; [iv], 448 [449 -464 Index]; [iv], 490; [iv], 473 [474 blank, 475 - 495 Index, 496 Errata, contemporary tree calf, gilt spines, black leather labels on three volumes, fragment of label on volume 2, joints cracked, tops and bases of spines worn, top portion of spine missing on volume 4. With the contemporary autograph "Joseph Pomery" on the title-page of each volume, and "Rich Williams/ May 3 1867" on the front paste-down end-paper of each volume. Robinson (1749–1813) the volume that led to this larger series, Theological Miscellany, in 1784, and the complete set first appeared in 1793, printed by Bensley, who also printed the fourth edition when it was published in 1800. Given the success of the book, one wonders why Robinson chose to have this third edition printed for himself. The scripture characters themselves seem to be exclusively male: the volumes beginning with Adam (but no mention of Eve), but Esther and the Virgin Mary manage to find themselves included. ESTC T100123 locates copies of this edition at the BL and University of London Library only.
