Second edition, Burns and Oates, London 1884 — title page verified in the scan. Translators Marianne Caroline Patmore and Coventry Patmore (d. 1896), so UK term expired long ago and nothing was restorable under URAA. Edition identified by fingerprinting the opening sentence ("You wish me to explain for what reason and in what measure we should love God"), which is confirmed present in this scan. CCEL was REJECTED as a source, its text being a different, unidentifiable translation.
