    A true and most remarkable account of some passages in the life of Mr. George de Benneville , of an ancient and noble protestant family in Normandy, [who is now, or lately was living in Pennsylvania] Who was often imprisoned in France, for Preaching, and was once brought upon the Scaffold to have his Head cut off. Who afterwards fell Sick of a Consumption, and to all Appearance died, and lay in that State forty-one Hours: What he saw and heard during that Time, both in the Regions of Misery and Happiness. Translated from the French of his own manuscript, by Elhanan Winchester. Never before published in English. To which is prefixed a preface by the translator. Published at the earnest Desire of several Friends, who have read the Account in Manuscript.
