Dimensions roughly 9.5 x 6.5 cm. In good condition, on lightly-aged laid paper. Crisply printed within a decorative border. In the following transcription the manuscript additions in an eighteenth-century hand are placed within square brackets: 'This BOOK | Belongs to the | LENDING | Parochial Library | OF | [Woodchurch] | In the County of | [ ] | And Diocese of | [Chester] | Established by | Dr Bray's Associates, | 17[93]'. (The word 'of' in the line 'In the County of' has been deleted.) Note: "The Associates of Dr. Bray was a philanthropic group founded in 1724 by the English clergyman Thomas Bray to educate enslaved African Americans in the British North American colonies. Educated at Oxford, Bray founded two groupsthe Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (1699) and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (1701)charged with spreading literacy and Christianity throughout England and America. A friend's bequest led to the establishment of the Associates of Dr. Bray, dedicated to the religious education of enslaved African Americans in particular. This organization used a faith-based curriculum to justify slavery in an attempt to force African Americans to accept their roles as enslaved peoples. After briefly merging with a group intent on founding a convict colony in Georgia, the Associates concentrated on their primary function. Missions to Georgia and South Carolina were deemed unsuccessful, but in 1757 Benjamin Franklin suggested that a school be established in Philadelphia. When that provided favorable results, Franklin recommended that Bray schools be opened in New York; Newport, Rhode Island; and Williamsburg.[.]" [Google Dr Bray and associates] See Image.…
