Description:
First Printing. xxxvi, 515pp. 8vo, brown cloth, gilts spine lettering, ruled in black. Some light foxing and a bit of rubbing to covers, very clean and tight otherwise. ' 'Edmond De Hault de Pressensé was born at Paris, and studied at Lausanne under Alexandre Vinet. He went on to the University of Halle as a pupil of Friedrich August Tholuck and to Humboldt University in Berlin, where he studied under August Neander. In 1847 he became a pastor in the Evangelical Church at the chapel of Taitbout in Paris. He was a powerful preacher and political orator; from 1871 he was a member of the National Assembly, and from 1883 a life senator. In 1890 he was elected a member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques. Pressensé laboured for the revival of biblical studies. He contended that the Evangelical Church ought to be independent of the power of the state. His son Francis de Pressensé was a French politician and man of letters.' -Wikipedia.
