Very rare assemblage of original issue, in wraps, monthlies of the Panoplist and Missionary Magazine. Desirable in any form, they are almost always found bound together without the original wraps.
In addition to excellent theological content, historical articles, etc., the primary import of these volumes are included in the original correspondence involving Adoniram Judson's changing views on baptism, the death of Henry Martyn, and the obituary of Harriet Newell, along with important and extensive accounts of revivals from the Second Great Awakening.
