Titel in black and red - a graet book and a collectors item. vi, 977, 16 S. Thomas Stackhouse (1677-1752) was an English theologian and controversialist. From 1701 to 1704 Stackhouse was headmaster of Hexham Grammar School, and on 28 December 1704 he was ordained priest in London. He then became curate of Shepperton in Middlesex, and from 1713 was minister of the English church at Amsterdam. In 1731 he was curate of Finchley. For some time Stackhouse lived in poverty. He was rescued by his appointment in the summer of 1733 to the vicarage of Marsh Benham, Berkshire. In 1737 he had a house in Theobald's Court, London; in 1741 he was living at Chelsea. The major work of Stackhouse was his New History of the Holy Bible from the Beginning of the World to the Establishment of Christianity, which he brought out in numbers from 1733 and then published in three folio volumes in 1737. The genesis of the work was with two booksellers, John Wilford and Thomas Edlin; Stackhouse wrote a pamphlet about them. A second edition came out in numbers in 1742-4, and was published in two folio volumes, with a dedication to his patron, Bishop Edmund Gibson. It was then often reprinted, with additional notes, by other divines. (Wikipedia).
