A solid, serviceable set of Seymour's classic life of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon [1707-1791]. She all but exhausted her vast estate for the propagation of the Second Great Awakening. She paid pastors, built chapels all across England, Ireland Wales, and started a college to train ministers on her private estate. By the end, she was selling her personal effects to help John Wesley pay to establish the newest church in the rapidly expanding Methodist mission.
Seymour, Aaron C. The Life and Times of Selina Countess of Huntingdon. By a Member of the Houses of Shirley and Hastings. Vol. I & II. London. William Edward Painter. 1839. 488pp. & 544pp.
A good - set, in buckram with usual ex-library markings and stamps. A couple of gatherings are a bit shaken, but the whole is generally solid with some light foxing.
