Pamphlet. 40 p.; 20 cm. Sermon I. Neglect of the revelation. John xii, 37 -- Sermon II. Doubts as to the revelation. John xx, 27. `It is not from the imagination that I have drawn this warning. I can tell you of an overshadowed grave which closed in on such a struggle and such an end as that at which I have glanced. In it was laid a form which had hardly reached the fulness of earliest manhood. That young man had gone young, ardent, and simply faithful to the tutelage of one, himslf I doubt not a sincere believer, but who sought to reconcile the teaching of our Church, in which he minnistered, with the dreams of rationalism. His favourite pupil learned his lore, and it sufficed for his needs whilst health beat high in his youthful veins. But on him sickness and decay closed early in, and, as the glow of health faded, the intellectual lights for which he had exchanged the simplicity of faith began to pale; whilst the viper brood of doubts which almost unawares he had let slip into his soul, crept forth from their hiding-places and raised against him fearfully their envenomed heads. And they were too strong for him. The teacher who had suggested could not remove them; and in darkness and despair his victim died before his eyes the doubter's death.' (p. 37) Good, sewn, removed. Pages lightly dampstained.

Leather rubbed along spine and corners, scuff mark near lower left corner of back cover. Some foxing, mainly endpapers and flyleaves, untrimmed pages, small closed tear along fore edge of pages 53/54. Inscription on front flyleaf: "The Lord Bishop of Oxford, from GM Fortescue, Dropmore, Aug. 18, 1866." (Lowndes II, 942) A nice example of this scarce publication, with approximately 50 copies being printed and bought up primarily by family. The author of this work, Lord William W. Grenville (1759-1834), was a member of the House of Lords and Prime Minister of England from 1806-1807. His most notable accomplishment during his ministry was the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which resulted in the abolition of the slave trade throughout the British Empire. Lord Grenville's home was Dropmore, which was built in the 1790s, and with his death in 1834, Lady Grenville continued to live at the estate until her death in 1864. Having no children, the home passed into the hands of her nephew, George M. Fortescue (1791-1877). In 1866, Fortescue presented Bishop Samuel Wilberforce (1805-1873) with this copy of his uncle's book of poetry, Nugae Metricae. Bishop Wilberforce was the third son of William Wilberforce, who played a prominent role in the movement to abolish the slave trade in the early nineteenth century. Bishop Wilberforce was involved in the 1860 Oxford debate on evolution, in which he opposed Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Signed.
