Very rare translation into French of the Oxford University Bampton Lectures given in 1785, by the Reverend Ralph Churton M.A. (1754-1831), Fellow of Brasenose College. For this important lecture series, Churton spoke on prophecies concerning the destruction of Jerusalem. Churton is remembered now as a progenitor of Anglo-Catholic thought. A nice copy.
