A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The authorities for the present book are, 1. The Life of Mr. John Howe, written by his younger contemporary Edmund Calamy, which appeared in 1724, twenty years after Howe sdeath. Almost all the facts that are known about him are contained in this Memoir, which, though rather loose and heavy in style, would deserve publication as well as most modern books. 2. The Life and Character of John Howe, 31.A., with an Analysis of his Writings by Henry Rogers, which appeared first in 1836, and was republished, with an edition of the Works in six volumes, by the Religious Tract Society in 1863. Rogers discovered several letters which were unknown to Calamy, and collected many interesting notices of Howe from the works of his contemporaries. But it is odd that Rogers book is already more antiquated than Howes own works. The notions of 1836 have largely passed away, while the general burden of Howe swork is as vital to-day as it was two centuries ago. To Rogers, Cromwell is still the unprincipled and bloodstained usurper. And the diffusive comments, interesting for the biography of Henry Rogers, are tiresome in the Life of John Howe. 3. The volume of The Works of the Puritan Divines, edited by Dr. William Urwick in 1846.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
