This first volume of the "Collection of the Devout Letters" of the late Rev.

Preceded by an extensive description of The Faithful Life and Dying of JACOBUS HERVEY containing 195 pages,
This is followed by more than 80 letters written by Jacobus Hervey to family, friends and acquaintances, all with an edifying content.
This also includes over 300 pages.
In front of the title page is a portrait engraving of the writer Jacobus Hervey
The leather-bound work does show some signs of wear and does look a bit well-thumbed. The first 8 pages and also the
last 100 pages are quite frayed and the leather cover is somewhat worn. Inside, some pages are somewhat stained and brown due to age, although this does not mean any loss of text (see also attached photos).
