Very scarce work by the saintly James Harrington Evans, Baptist minister at John-street Chapel and Robert C. Chapman's pastor. And this edition, with a 26-page 1836 preface by Octavius Winslow from the short window where Winslow was pastoring in Brooklyn, New York before returning to England.

No copies on the market at any price.
