Our plan is to reprint the volumes that are out of print over the next year. Every endeavour will be made to match the original bindings but as the series was published over a period of 15-20 years the shade of the cloth used varied. What we can guarantee is that the volumes will match in size and the dustjackets will remain the same. We do not expect to be reprinting all the volumes so as to produce a totally new set as there are significant quantites of some volumes remaining whilst others are down to the last 30 copies. The volumes, though a set, are actually, in most cases, stand-alone volumes covering a particular subject or aspect of the history.

In addition to The Gospel Revealed to Job by Hulbert (due out in mid-March) and John Fawcett’s  Exposition of the Acts. 3 vols (Spurgeon says: “A fine series of expository discourses. Sometimes we differ.”), we are currently considering the following:

1. E.W. Hengstenberg on Psalms

2. E.W. Hengstenbrg, The Revelation expounded for those who search the Scriptures.  Translated by Patrick Fairbairn, D.D. 2 vols., 8vo. Edinb., 1851-52. S. 14/6. (Spurgeon says: “Highly esteemed by the best judges”).

3. R Breckinridge, The Kingdom of God considered (2 vol.)  

4. James Hamilton, Sermons and Discourses.  (Receives the highest marks from Spurgeon on his work on Moses and his commentary on Ecclesiastes).

5. R S Candlish, Reason and Revelation 

6. Jean Daille, Exposition of Philippians & Exposition of Colossians.  Translated by Rev. James Sherman. Imp. 8vo. Lond., 1841. (Spurgeon: “Very sweet and evangelical: after the French manner”).

7. Robert Robinson on History of Baptism

8. Sermons of James Ussher

We are checking if others are planning these and also assessing interest. Please let us know if you would be interested in any of these titles.
