"A short letter of instruction shewing the surest way to Christian perfection; [by Francis de la Combe]. Translated out of French. To which are added the pious meditations of Blosius on the Passion of our Blessed Saviour", 18th century
With a preface by the translator, who is said in a memorandum at the end by Rawlinson to be "the Rev. Mr. Nalson."
The MS. appears to have been used as the printer's copy for Nalson's English edition, the date of which the compiler of [the Quarto] Catalogue has not been able to ascertain.
Pages 37–44 and 53–68 are wanting.
On a fly-leaf is the address, "To Dr. Keith, in Devonshire Street, near Red Lyon Square."
