USEFUL AND PRACTICAL WORKS
The Practical Works of Richard Baxter. The only complete Edition. Reprinted, without abridgment, from the Original collected Edition. With an Introductory Essay on the Genius and Writings of Baxter, by Robert Philip. And a fine portrait of Baxter. In Four Vols. imperial 8vo. 3l. 3s.
“Till this hour Baxter is comparatively neglected. Although his Practical Works are rich magazines of wealth—although mind beams and radiates in every page—although every sentiment uttered is imbued, we might almost say saturated, with piety, and the style is often elevated by his sublime earnestness into more than Demosthenic eloquence—how few there are who can boast of having read more than his ‘Saint’s Everlasting Rest,’ and his ‘Call to the Unconverted.’—To recover Baxter’s works from neglect, and to bring them once again into general notice, is a more important thing than to have raised, if it had been possible, the holy man from his grave. The best part of him lives in his writings—his intellect, his heart, his heavenly-mindedness is there. By these, ‘he being dead yet speaketh.’ To every religious family, able to afford a trifle for the purchase of books, these volumes are recommended as containing a complete library of practical divinity. No minister of Christian truth ought to be without them.”—Nonconformist.

“Coming on to modern theological writers, I recommend you to familiarize yourselves with the works of the acute, the philosophical, the profound, and pious Jonathan Edwards, and those of Andrew Fuller. I know nothing like the latter for a beautiful combination of doctrinal, practical, and experimental religion.”—Counsels to Students of Theology on leaving College, by John Angell James.
