Unsigned book: The Confession of Faith. Philadelphia: B. Franklin, 1745. Disbound, 4.25 x 6.5, 141 pages [numbered 23–164] plus title. The publisher’s information at the bottom of the title page reads, “Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by B. Franklin. M.DCC.XLV.” In good condition, with staining, chips and tears to edges, and the last few pages loose; otherwise the sewn spine remains generally strong and intact. This is a complete section from the larger 567-page edition of the Westminster Confession of Faith printed by Franklin as a commission for the Synod of Philadelphia. At the time of publication Franklin was just 39 years old and the Revolution was thirty years away—a highly desirable early American piece.
