Bookseller Notes

An influential Quietist text, in its scarce English translation (first edition in French, Amsterdam, 1687). Vol. vi also includes: The Principles of Real and Internal Religion Asserted and Vindicated... [and an Alphabetical Index to the whole Work]. George Baillie's complicated political career was much facilitated by the administrative abilities of his wife Grisell, who was bracketed with Flora Macdonald in Henry Grey Graham's pantheon of Scottish heroines.
