The poem also traces the history of hunting up to the Norman Conquest and provides all manner of incidental information on kennel design; hare, stag, and otter hunting; the breeding and training of dogs, and dog diseases and bites. It's interesting to speculate on West's association with Somervile, who dedicated this, his major work, to Frederick, prince of Wales.

Otherwise, apart from an occasional instance of slight soiling, foxing or minor creasing, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce and important early title in John Wesley's large catalog of published works, the third published work in his bibliography. Wesley entitles his translation The Christian's Pattern, just as George Stanhope did in his edition, though Wesley's is widely considered a far more careful and accurate version of the original than Stanhope's much reprinted loose paraphrase.
Copinger said, 'The translation of Wesley is certainly to be reckoned amongst the best,' even though the edition is 'little known, an abstract or abridgement of it having practically taken its place' On the English Translations of the 'Imitatio Christi,' After the birth of the Methodist movement in , Wesley produced the greatly abridged version, entitled 'An Extract of the Christian's Pattern,' first printed in and reprinted dozens of times thereafter in mostly small and inexpensive editions.
The Imitation of Christ was originally written by Catholic monk Thomas Kempis circa , as four separate books completed between and , at Mount Saint Agnes monastery, in the town of Windesheim, located in what is now the Netherlands. He wrote these works for the instruction of novices of his Augustinian monastic order, followers of Geert Groote's Brethren of the Common Life.

Edited by Samuel Johnson. Translated from the Portuguese by Joachim le Grand. First English edition, first printing. Jeronimo Lobo, a Jesuit missionary, was born in Lisbon, and entered the Order of Jesus at the age of sixteen. In he was ordered as a missionary to India, and in he arrived at Goa. With the intention of proceeding to Abyssinia, whose Negus emperor Segued had been converted to Roman Catholicism by Pedro Paez, he left India in He disembarked on the coast of Mombasa, and attempted to reach his destination through the Galla country, but was forced to return.
In he set out again, accompanied by Mendez, the patriarch of Ethiopia, and eight missionaries. The party landed on the coast of the Red Sea, and Lobo settled in Abyssinia as superintendent of the missions in Tigre. He remained there until death deprived the Catholics of their protector, the emperor Segued. Forced by persecution to leave the kingdom, in Lobo and his companions fell into the hands of the Turks at Massawa, who sent him to India to procure a ransom for his imprisoned fellow-missionaries.
In this he was successful, but could not induce the Portuguese viceroy to send an armament against Abyssinia. Intent upon accomplishing this cherished project, he embarked for Portugal, and after he had been shipwrecked on the coast of Natal, and captured by pirates, arrived at Lisbon. Neither at this city, however, nor at Madrid and Rome, was any countenance given to Lobo's plan. He accordingly returned to India in , and was elected rector, and afterwards provincial, of the Jesuits at Goa.
After some years he returned to his native city, and died there on the 29th of January Lobo wrote an account of his travels in Portuguese, which appears never to have been printed, but is deposited in the monastery of St Roque, Lisbon. Balthazar Telles made large use of the information therein in his Historia geral da Ethiopia a Alta Coimbra, , often erroneously attributed to Lobo.
Lobo's own narrative was translated from a Manuscript copy into French in by the Abbe Joachim le Grand, under the title of Voyage historique d'Abissinie. In a translation by Sir Peter Wyche of several passages from a manuscript account of Lobo's travels was published by the Royal Society translated in M. Thevenot's Relation des voyages in
