1886 C. H. SPURGEON. Autograph Printer's Galleys. God's Longsuffering: An Appeal to the Conscience.
Wonderful piece of Spurgeonalia.
Each Lord's Day, Spurgeon's rhythm was the same. His secretary would take down his sermon long-hand as he preached [which, for many years, was from a simple 4 x 6ish card]. Then, on Monday, he would revise the secretarial transcript in his own hand. This would then be forwarded to Passmore & Alabaster, who would return galley proofs, which would undergo another round of revision.
The present is a complete galley proof, issued to Spurgeon for final revision and having his final corrective notes, in his own hand, throughout the margins as shown. These are wonderful displayed!
