Light wear along spine edges and tips, no spine label present or evidence there was one; light wear to corners and top edge. Near Fine. The First Baskerville Edition and the Eighth overall.

Gaskell 30 describes that the errata leaf is frequently missing. This copy has two examples of the errata leaf, one with a Phillips & Fardon imprint as part of the preliminaries and the other at the end of the text without an imprint. DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY: "Barclay's great book, The Apology, is remarkable as the standard exposition of the principles of his sect, and is not only the first defense of those principles by a man of trained intelligence, but in many respects one of the most impressive theological writings of the century."
