Charles Drelincourt, 1595-1669, French Protestant divine. The first edition of this work was published in 1651. The early Library of Congress
catalogues date this copy Geneva 1669. The title-page had evidently disappeared before the book came into Jefferson’s possession
as he has written his name on the first present page, the beginning of the dedication. The Reverend Anthony Gavin died in 1750.
Defoe’s
The Apparition of Mrs Veal
(who came from the other world to recommend Drelincourt’s work) is supposed to have been written for the express purpose
of promoting the sale of an English translation of the book.
