Description: I'm offering a book titled "Abernethy's Sermons" written by John Abernethy. Published posthumously in 1748. This is volume 1 of a 4 volume series. ----------------- John Abernethy (1680-1740) was an Irish dissenting clergyman, born at Coleraine, co. Londonderry, Ulster. He took a stand ‘against all laws that, upon account of mere differences of religious opinions and forms of worship, excluded men of integrity and ability from serving their country.’ He was far ahead of his age. He had to reason with the episcopal church, which held presbyterians for ‘schismatics,’ and with others who had to be convinced that it was possible for ‘protestant dissenters’ and Roman Catholics to be ‘men of integrity and ability.’ John Abernethy's is a venerable name to all who love freedom of conscience and opinion. He died in December 1740. The works of Abernethy, other than his ecclesiastical writings, are still noticeable. The ‘Biographia Britannica’ furnishes full details. His ‘Discourses on the Divine Attributes’ and his ‘Posthumous Sermons’ (4 vols.) are still valued. ---------------- If you look at the pics in this listing, you'll see that this book is in poor condition. The leather cover is very dry and is splitting/cracked along the spine. The text block is soiled (see page edges with book closed). The pages themselves are very uneven from moisture at some point in the last 275 years. I've taken quite a few pictures so you can see some of the issues. The bottom line is: this book has definitely seen better days but was printed before the U.S. was formed in 1776, so probably traveled by ship at some point.. its hard to imagine. Please see all pics --the book you see is the actual book you will receive. Please ask any questions you may have as my items are offered "As Is/No Returns" due to the fact that they are used, old and imperfect--FREE SHIPPING anywhere within the U.S. --no international shipping.__________________________________________________IMPORTANT BUYER REQUIREMENTS:NO ZERO FEEDBACK BUYERS PLEASE.
