OCLC No. 43539199 locates only two copies worldwide: Cambridge University UK and Drew University NJ. Reference: Baker Union Catalogue of Publications of John and Charles Wesley No. 26. ~KMP~ 1.0P A remarkably rare early London imprint of John Wesley's celebrated abridgment of the 15th-century devotional classic 'The Imitation of Christ'. Anglican theologian and Methodist founder John Wesley 1703–1791 originally executed a full English translation of Thomas à Kempis's Latin text in 1735 as one of his earliest published works. Following the formal maturation of the Methodist movement in 1738–1739 Wesley realized that his followers required a more accessible portable and streamlined edition focused entirely on 'religion of the heart.' The resulting 'Extract of the Christian's Pattern' was first published in 1741 and systematically stripped of its strictly monastic medieval elements to serve as a daily spiritual handbook for the working-class Methodist societies. Because these pocket-sized volumes were subjected to intensive daily devotional use by early adherents the vast majority were read to pieces. Early editions are exceptionally scarce on the market. Following the 1741 original subsequent editions appeared in Bristol 1746 and London 1753 followed by this rare 1756 printing distributed directly from Wesley's famous ministerial headquarters and chapel at 'The Foundry' in Upper Moorfields. An essential piece of early Wesleyan typography and printing history. John Wesley hardcover

1872réf. 2260230New York: David Wesley & Co. 1872. First Published Edition . Hardcover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover maroon cloth boards show darkening in spots as well as scuffing edges and corners show bumps/wear and spine tips are frayed. This is the original 1872 publication not a modern reprint. The book contains a publisher's notice right after the preface which states this is technically a second edition as the first being withdrawn before release "in deference to the opinion of friends as somewhat to Frank in it statements for indiscriminate circulation". This is why the book was marked as a first published addition in this listing. There are no signatures no bookplates no library markings no handwriting found. The reason for the low condition grade is because some of the quadrants of pages in the center of the book are slightly offset and there is pulling present. Otherwise book would grade as VG. Pages are toned due to age and there are some scattered foxing spots and a few smudge marks present. David Wesley & Co. hardcover
