Hardcover. Condition: Good +. First Edition. Quarto, 208pp., 208pp., plus 16pp. "Extra" section at the end of the second volume. Bound in contemporary marbled boards with calf spine and corner tips, with title pages to each volume. Binding with heavy wear, the spine perished with just cloth tape holding the binding together.

A large number of sermons by radical preacher Charles Grandison Finney are included herein, as well as responses from readers to his sermons and to other articles. The periodical lasted through the end of the Civil War. Present commerce and the auction record suggest that any and all issues are scarce. This substantial run of the first 52 issues is porticularly important, documenting the intellectual life of Oberlin College and some of its radical founders and early thought leaders, whose controversial and radical philosophies would ultimately prove to be the germ of mainstream American liberalism. The most recent appearance of a similar run (volumes II and III, NOT including volume I) which we could trace was offered by Goodspeed in 1932. Scarce.…
