FIRST EDITION THUS, in English and Irish on facing pages,
pages 149, (2),2 - 23, (7), 12mo, contemporary panelled calf: the
upper joint cracked but still very firm and wanting most of the
spine label, but otherwise a very good copy.
Includes: ‘Prayers for the use of the charity-schools’ with title-pages in
English and Irish, separate pagination but continuous register. The final
3 leaves contain ‘The elements of the Irish language’. John Lewis was
from the West Country and although destined by his family for trade,
became a clergyman, scholar and the author of a number of interesting
works. His Church Catechism Explained was a popular work and was
translated not only into Irish, a version which was frequently reprinted,
but also into Welsh. The translator was John Richardson (1664-1747)
and the Irish text is printed in Irish letter, a type said by E. Rowe Mores
to have been cut by Moxon in the 1680s, and which passed to Eleanor
Everingham.
