Could anyone out there who knows more about 17th and 18th C. devotional literature than I do (not a big ask) enlighten me? John Robinson (1727-1802), former Treasury Secretary, bequeathed to at least two parishes funds to provide books for poor boys from an approved list of titles. They were: The Whole Duty of Man - have a fair idea about this anonymous 1658 collection of moral reflections. Lewis's Catechism - I understand this was by John Lewis, first published in 1763. Crossman's Introduction -This might be Samuel Crossman (1623-83) best remembered now for 'My song is love unknown' but also author of pious works. Glass's Lectures and Glass's Exposition of the Commandments - Don't know what these were. If Robinson had Glasite (the idiosyncratic Presbyterian breakaway John Glas) leanings I would be most surprised. Waldo on the Sacrament - haven't a clue. Any help most gratefully received.
