Description
Item Description:Running title: The Christian religion, the only true religion.
The copy held by the American Antiquarian Society has an added engraved frontispiece ("Increase Mather. Tho: Emmes sculpt. Sold by Nicolas Boone 1701."). The frontispiece portrait, the first copperplate engraved in America, is not found in all copies of the discourse, but was evidently added to some copies, and was added to certain copies of other of Mather's works. See Murdock, Kenneth B. The portraits of Increase Mather, 1924, pages 43-46, and Holmes, T.J. Increase Mather, entries 13 and 64-A.
Murdock distinguishes a completed and an uncompleted state of the engraving. The uncompleted state lacks the engraved background, so that the head appears on a white field.
