USEFUL AND PRACTICAL WORKS
The Practical Works of Richard Baxter. The only complete Edition. Reprinted, without abridgment, from the Original collected Edition. With an Introductory Essay on the Genius and Writings of Baxter, by Robert Philip. And a fine portrait of Baxter. In Four Vols. imperial 8vo. 3l.3s.
“Till this hour Baxter is comparatively neglected. Although his Practical Works are rich magazines of wealth—although mind beams and radiates in every page—although every sentiment uttered is imbued, we might almost say saturated, with piety, and the style is often elevated by his sublime earnestness into more than Demosthenic eloquence—how few there are who can boast of having read more than his ‘Saint’s Everlasting Rest,’ and his ‘Call to the Unconverted.’—To recover Baxter’s works from neglect, and to bring them once again into general notice, is a more important thing than to have raised, if it had been possible, the holy man from his grave. The best part of him lives in his writings—his intellect, his heart, his heavenly-mindedness is there. By these, ‘he being dead yet speaketh.’ To every religious family, able to afford a trifle for the purchase of books, these volumes are recommended as containing a complete library of practical divinity. No minister of Christian truth ought to be without them.”—Nonconformist.

Copious illustrations will be given from the writings of the early defenders of the Gospel; the record of general events will be founded on the most unobjectionable authorities; and care will be taken to describe, as fully as possible, the labours and struggles of those holy men whose patience and triumphs have ever been considered as affording the best demonstration of the power of Christian faith.Though primarily intended as a book for Family Instruction, it is hoped that this History will not be undeserving the notice of religious readers in general, or of Theological Students, who will find in it a careful digest of whatever is most necessary to be considered in the annals of the Christian Church.
