C. H. Spurgeon. . . the matter is rich and full of suggestions . . . and . . . it is seldom to be met with except in fragments.

Dr. Williams called his works equally remarkable for soundness of sentiment, familiarity of illustration, and want of taste in style and composition.

An attractive large 4to, near folio, of 10 3/4 inches bound in full tree calf likely in the 19th century. Raised bands, simple contrasting morocco label. Aside from some minor losses at corner and head of spine, quite attractive on the shelf. 

The title is handled, a bit chipped, and slightly offset from the block. Some scattered staining at gutter which varies in intensity, two leaves have tears with losses to bottom third of the page. The final few leaves are badly chipped, but all text still legible. Complete aside from the two mentioned leaves. Very scarce and would easily be priced at double with some slight tweaks in condition.
