Rather scarce biography of Bennet Tyler [1783-1858], an important participant in the College revivals of 1800-1805 at Williams, Andover, Yale, etc., and a facilitator of the same later as a godly college educator at that school of revivalists, The Theological Institute of Connecticut.
He was an important voice for the revival movement, authoring New England Revivals as they Existed during the End of the 18th Century and the the Beginning of the 19th Century, providing an important first-hand account of the era. He was close personal friends with Asahel Nettleton and edited his autobiography, etc.,
Scarce. No copies on the market. An important Second Great Awakening memoir.
