Mr. Mills was well acquainted when he lived in Bath, with Mr. Cranham & who used then to attend by Mr. Chas. & Mr. Whitefield, preachers.” (Names may not be exact); Oddly, there appears to be a second pastedown with a cutout making this note visible; A similar thing has been done at the rear exposing a few notes from the text; It does appear to have been rebacked; Ownership signature on title page of Dr. Elmira Y.
