The Knowledge of God Objectively Considered
& The Knowledge of God Subjectively Considered
being a two part of a systematic theology
by Robert J Breckinridge
546pp & 714pp red cloth with d/w, £20.95 & £25.95
“Dr. Breckinridge’s book will take its place by the side of the works of the greatest masters, and none will feel that they are dishonoured by the company of the newcomer. It has peculiar merits. It is strictly an original work—the product of the author’s own thoughts, the offspring of his own mind. He has studied and digested much form the labours of others, but has borrowed nothing…. The plan, too, adapts it to general use. The humblest Christian can read it with almost as much profit as the minister. It is pure, unmixed Gospel, presented in a form at once suited to edify and instruct…. The author’s soul is always on fire. He knows God only to love Him, and he seems to feel that he has taught nothing until he has kindled the same flame in the minds of his pupils.” Review of the first part by James Henley Thornwell. (A much fuller review by Thornwell of the first part of this set is found The Collected Writings of James Henley Thornwell, Vol. 1, pp443-488.)

The Two Thousand Confessors of Sixteen Sixty-Two
by Thomas Coleman
218pp brown cloth with d/w £11.95
This is rare volume, first published in 1860. The author reviews the events, details the principles upon which the ministers acted, the oppressive measures under which they suffered, and the influence they have had on succeeding times. The book is complete with biographical sketches and facts and anecdotes characteristic of the times in which they lived. It is an eminently accessible introduction to this vital period in English church history.

Expositions upon the Epistles of Philippians and Colossians
by Jean Daillé
192 + 272pp in a single volume, dark blue cloth with d/w £19.95
This edition was originally published together with Jenkyn on Jude by Nichol in 1863. Jean Daillé (1594-1670) was a French Huguenot minister and Biblical commentator.
In his Sermons on the Philippians and Colossians, Daillé vindicated his claim to rank as a great preacher as well as an able controversialist. He was president of the last national synod held in France, which met at Loudun in 1659. Spurgeon says of these commentaries: “Written in a deliciously florid style. Very sweet and evangelical: after the French manner.”

A Commentary of the Book of Psalms (2 vols)
by William De Burgh
1028pp, dark blue cloth with d/w. £28.95
Published for Sovereign Grace Advent Testimony
“A second-advent interpreter; and one of the best of his class. Highly esteemed by those who are enthusiastic upon prophetical subjects.” C H Spurgeon

We are pleased to announce that we have obtained stock of many of the volumes of the exceedingly rare set and have also received permission to reprint the volumes that have been long out of print. Only a few hundred lovers of special books possess sets of this history of the English Bible. The books are commended by many scholars of distinction and are praised for their beauty, with hundreds of illustrations from authentic sources, besides noble bindings maroon and guilt, not to mention attractive dust jackets.

The volumes are as follows: (those in red are currently out of print, the others are available for £15 each, incl. post, which is the same as they were selling for in 1995.)

Our plan is to reprint the volumes that are out of print over the next year. Every endeavour will be made to match the original bindings but as the series was published over a period of 15-20 years the shade of the cloth used varied. What we can guarantee is that the volumes will match in size and the dustjackets will remain the same. We do not expect to be reprinting all the volumes so as to produce a totally new set as there are significant quantites of some volumes remaining whilst others are down to the last 30 copies. The volumes, though a set, are actually, in most cases, stand-alone volumes covering a particular subject or aspect of the history.

In addition to The Gospel Revealed to Job by Hulbert (due out in mid-March) and John Fawcett’s  Exposition of the Acts. 3 vols (Spurgeon says: “A fine series of expository discourses. Sometimes we differ.”), we are currently considering the following:

1. E.W. Hengstenberg on Psalms

2. E.W. Hengstenbrg, The Revelation expounded for those who search the Scriptures.  Translated by Patrick Fairbairn, D.D. 2 vols., 8vo. Edinb., 1851-52. S. 14/6. (Spurgeon says: “Highly esteemed by the best judges”).

3. R Breckinridge, The Kingdom of God considered (2 vol.)  

4. James Hamilton, Sermons and Discourses.  (Receives the highest marks from Spurgeon on his work on Moses and his commentary on Ecclesiastes).

5. R S Candlish, Reason and Revelation 

6. Jean Daille, Exposition of Philippians & Exposition of Colossians.  Translated by Rev. James Sherman. Imp. 8vo. Lond., 1841. (Spurgeon: “Very sweet and evangelical: after the French manner”).

7. Robert Robinson on History of Baptism

8. Sermons of James Ussher

We are checking if others are planning these and also assessing interest. Please let us know if you would be interested in any of these titles.
