Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Howe The authorities for the present book are, 1. The life of Mr. John Howe, written by his younger contemporary Edmund Calamy, which appeared in 1724, twenty years after Howe´s death. Almost all the facts that are known about him are contained in this Memoir, which, though rather loose and heavy in style, would deserve publication as well as most modern books. 2. The Life and Character of John Howe, M. A., with an Analysis of his Writings by Henry Rogers, which appeared first in 1836, and was republished, with an edition of the Works in six volumes, by the Religious Tract Society in 1863. Rogers discovered several letters which were unknown to Calamy, and collected many interesting notices of Howe from the works of his contemporaries. But it is odd that Rogers´ book is already more antiquated than Howe´s own works. The notions of 1836 have largely passed away, while the general burden of Howe´s work is as vital to-day as it was two centuries ago. To Rogers, Cromwell is still the unprincipled and bloodstained usurper. And the diffusive comments, interesting for the biography of Henry Rogers, are tiresome in the Life of John Howe. 3. The volume of The Works of the Puritan Divines, edited by Dr. William Urwick in 1846. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
