Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 1.1 x 8.5 x 5.35 Inches; Alexander Whyte (1836-1921) is best known for his books on Bible Characters. A leading Scottish Churchman of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it is only to be expected that he turned his mind to the Shorter Catechism that summary of Christian doctrine that was taught in schools and homes across Scotland and throughout the world. In a question and answer format the Shorter Catechism was written with uneducated layman in mind. Simple, direct and brief it was memorised by millions of people from all backgrounds. Its spiritual value has been proved again and again as it provides a base of solid Christian teaching that has stood the test of time. This exposition is a treasure, as it adds some background and some explanation to the brevity that is obviously necessary in a catechism. Quoting from a wide range of Reformed and Puritan authors, Whyte provides useful application and illustrations that help illuminate the answers and will help us apply them to our lives.

First Edition. Folio, contemporary calf, lacks frontispiece as usual, [1], iv, 3, [3], 914, [1] pp. Binding is very worn, back cover detached, and front cover almost detached, front endpaper almost detached, some serious dampstaining and sticking, affecting the last 20 leaves only, last leaf including Willardâs works is defective, some foxing, a few ink, stains bookplate on front pastedown, some notes on preliminary blanks, and early ownerâs inscriptions on title page and elsewhere. Samuel Willard (1640-1707) was a puritan clergyman born in Concord Massachusetts. In 1663 he became pastor of what was considered at that time the frontier community of Groton, Massachusetts. In 1671 he became involved with the demonic possession of Elizabeth Knapp, and recorded his observations on her care and treatment, which were not published until 1868. In 1675 he and his family became refugees of the King Philipâs War. Over the course of his life, Willard published a number of articles, and was regarded as one of the leading intellectuals of American Puritanism. The inscriptions in this book include William Johnson (1726), Anna MoodY to her son Cutting Moody (1828), and Elizabeth Kelly (1837). The early owners appear to have been the residents of Newbury, Massachusetts, and Rev. William Johnson (1706-1772) graduated form Harvard in 1727. According to Evans, this is the first folio volume published in the United States other than works on laws, and the largest work up to that time printed in this country.
