LEIGHTON, ROBERT D.D. (1613-1684) Abp. Of Glasgow. A Practical Commentary Upon The First Epistle General of Saint Peter in Two Volumes. London : The Religious Tract Society, n.d. but considered to be 1850s. 8vo. 479, 525 pp. Two volumes complete. First published 1693-94. Matching set with fine full leather binding raised bands and clear titles on labels. Gilt framing around the covers with an attractive tooled motif in the centre. An attractive set of this great comment. A small tear taking off the surface of the leather at the base of volume 1, but can be simply rectified. Contents in both volumes clean, crisp and unmarked. Marbled page edges to both volumes. Engraved portrait of Abp. Leighton on the frontispiece of volume 1. A very nice set! "They ought to be reckoned among the greatest treasures of the English tongue; they continually overflow with love to God, and breathe an (sic) heart entirely transformed by the gospel, and above the views of everything but pleasing God." - Edward Williams. …
