1848 The Life and Correspondence of John Foster

Description

Early Edition, Leather Binding, Original Binding

A two volume morocco set, with an illustrated frontispiece of the man in question to volume I. This is the scarce second edition of this work, containing two additional letters.

Foster was a noted theologian of his time whose primary dissent with church doctrine involved 'Duration of Future Punishment', a subject treated at length in some of the letters included in the work

With the contemporary owner's inscriptions, 'Alexander C. Ewing with love from his affectionate cousin M, 4th May 1870' to the verso of an endpaper of volume I, and simply 'A C Ewing' on the same page in volume II.
