About This Item
Glasgow, Scotland: Printed by John Bryce, Glasgow, For J. Mathews, London, et. al.: 1782, 1782 pp. xxiv, 650 + 3 p. Publisher's advertisement, including a Proposal to publish the Letters of Samuel Rutherford. Old foxing and age stain. 8vo. Contemporary full leather binding, worn. Boards almost detached. FIRST EDITION. A note to a modern reprint of this important and scarce indicates the regard in which he is still held: John Brown (1722-1787) of Haddington, was a leading Scottish minister in the early eighteenth-century. He was a gifted preacher, and prolific writer of theology. He began life in obscure poverty, without advantage of wealth, position, title, or education. He taught himself Greek while working in the fields. He became a man of deep spiritual experience with skill in preaching the doctrines of free grace and piety. This Compendious View, is based on his seminary lectures. It contains more than 26,000 proof texts and numerous exegetical insights. This single volume of Reformed systematic theology is rich in content and an indispensable tool for students, pastors, and professors of theology. "Eighteenth Century Scotland produced many noted ministers, scholars and educators, but none greater, or so greatly loved in his own day or afterwards, as John Brown of Haddington" - Joel R. Beeke. Though the Library of Congress apparently once held this First Edition, OCLC does not record any other U.S. library as having it. This original edition is very scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W151 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Full Leather. Hardcover. Very Good.
