About this Item

Old red linen, paper labels, over original calf (a library compromise?); one page of advertisements at end. Covers darkened and a little marked, some foxing. With the label of the Friends' Library, Manchester. Samuel Fothergill (1715-1772) was a Yorkshireman, but his evangelism knew no territorial boundaries. "As a Preacher," recorded the Gentleman's Magazine memoir here reprinted as a preface, "he was far superior to most that fill that station: sound in important doctrines of the Christian Faith, he endeavoured to promote them universally, with the greatest energy of language, and the most persuasive eloquence. In that capacity he was, indeed, truly great . . . In his sermons, it was evident to all his intelligent hearers, that he deeply felt the force of those solemn truths he delivered; and his manner of displaying them was so justly emphatical, that none but the insensible or obdurate could withstand their force." The publisher of these discourses, William Phillips, later a distinguished geologist, was Catherine Phillips's stepgrandson. Seller Inventory # 28M100379
