An exceptional, large sammelband of four complete volumes, two complete years, of Dr. W. C. and Phoebe Palmer's Guide to Holiness magazine, the most influential holiness, higher life periodical of the era. 

Exceptional content with accounts of camp-meetings from Martha's Vineyard to San Francisco, holiness meetings among the "Indians," extensive accounts of local revivals across the country [including an original contribution on revival at Oberlin by Charles G. Finney], special attention given to female preachers and the involvement and effects of the holiness movement on "ministers' wives," reports of Phoebe's Tuesday Meetings for the Promotion of Holiness, etc,. etc.

Some attention also given to reconstruction and racial reconciliation [especially the spiritual element]. The Guide to Holiness had long been abolitionist, was strongly associated with Oberlin which had strongly advocated civil disobedience with relation to slavery, etc., 

Now very scarce on the market.
