1695 Quarto Pamphlet Of The Descent Of The Paraclet By Philip Falle Before Sir Thomas Lane The Lord Mayor Of The City Of London

Importance: Philip Falle (1656-1742) was a clergyman and historian of Jersey. In 1736 he presented to his fellow-islanders his collection of books. With another donation by Canon Dumaresq (died 1805), this benefaction developed into a large library, for which the States provided a building in Saint Helier.
