Second volume by Rev. George Jerment. Preface by George Jerment dated Weston Place, May 23, 1804: "among the British writers on this subject, the late Dr. Gibbons holds the most eminent place. His two volumes are here compressed into one, the less important or extraneous matter in his collection being omitted. Some, though very few, of the lives in his volumes are, for the same reason, entirely left out" (ital in orig; x). Jerment used "various sources" for second volume, and only wrote a few himself. Whereas Gibbons's original 2-vol. work included only subjects who were English and "in high life," Jerment's second volume includes "NINE Scots women, of various ranks, who were remarkably pious" (x-xi). 2 pp. catalogue at end: Ogle in London, Glasgow; Ogle and Aikin, Edinburgh, mostly sermons.
