336pp, with engraved portrait frontispiece showing the author, Rev MacGowan. Buckram covered boards with blind embossed decorations , gilding on spine (boards a little rubbed all over, more markedly on rounded corners and spine ends, small white mark on verso). Internally a little toning and occasional faint spotting, ownership stamp on front free endpaper. Minor wear on dusty text block edges. “Macgowan (1726-1780) was a Baptist minister in London whose Calvinist preaching won a considerable following in North America.”[He] … was probably more effective with his pen than in the pulpit, certainly if the number of titles authored and the frequency of their reprinting be any criteria. He had a considerable following in America as well as in Britain, and his works were translated into Welsh and Gaelic. His publications, some of them published under the pseudonym the Shaver or Pasquin Shaveblock, included most significantly The Arians and Socinians Monitor (1761), Priestcraft Defended (1768), and Dialogues of Devils (1772)” (ODNB). A controversial anti-Catholic work of fictional dialogues between humans and devils.
