This meditation manual for Monks and Nuns was translated into English in this volume in 1745, by George Stanhope, DD Late Dean of Canterbury. He starts the translation with a Note to Her Royal Highness the Princess Anne of Denmark.

All the old fashioned Fs instead of Ss, present throughout. Size 8vo. Condition very good, considering this book is 269 years old! Tightly and professionally bound in plain green cloth covered boards with no external text or embelishments of any kind. A few hand written notes in some of the margins.
