A propos de cet article

293pp. , xviii. Stated on title page: "Fifth Edition". No jacket. Five black and white illustrations inserted within the prose (not separate pages); includes Prefaces to the 2nd-5th editions, establishing that the 5th is a mere reprint of the 4th; regarding the 4th edition" "There has been a constant demand for this work since its first appearance in 1884, and the third edition is exhausted. / To keep pace with the cheap literature of the day, it is now republished at a merely nominal price. To do this it has been found necessary to leave out the more costly illustrations, and to expunge the references to authorities at the foot of the pages, with some less important notes. In other respects the reader will find all that was contained in the earlier editions"; "A Biographical Preface by Dr. [Thomas] Hodgkin, pp. ix-xiv; Index, pp. 283-293, followed by three pages of advertisements. Green buckram boards with brilliant gilt on spine and black-stamped lettering on upper front cover. Some sewn signatures at beginning and end of book are slightly stretched (not loose), binding and boards still secure; 2nd front flyleaf recto and 2nd rear flyleaf verso have nearly identical nearly entire page offsetting, as if acidic newsprint had been placed there, but seems connected with the paste used on the inside cover paste-downs, which only faintly is offset around the perimeters on the ffep and the rear flyleaf; a curved tear of 1 1/2" up from bottom p. 183 has been repaired Archival tape (text fine); a few pages were once dog-eared, but have long been flat, virtually insensible to touch; slight wear at cover tips and spine corners, with two small splits in lower spine buckram and three teeny slits in top spine buckram (none of this affects the strength of the binding). From the Biographical Preface: "His whole life was coloured by his enthusiastic adoption of the principles of the Christian Church to which his ancestors for many generations had belonged--the Society of Friends. During a considerable part of his life he occupied a conspicuous position as a minister among them . . .[ h]e was in a remarkable manner preserved from death in a shipwreck . . . His favourite topic of exhortation, especially in later years, was, "Press on, do not be satisfied with infancy and childhood in Christian life. It is time now that you were full-grown men and women in Christ Jesus, with all the power to overcome which this maturer life should bring to you." The 'happiness' of the Christian believer was another favourite them, both in his conversation and his sermons." Overall, the book is in unusually healthy condition for a book nearly 120 years old and has a delightful charm about it. The way to read a History of Christianity Classic.…
