	FARRAR. LIFE OF CHRIST. New York: Dutton, 1874. First American edition. 8vo. 2 vols. Half leather over marbled boards. Fine. An exceptional copy. Fine. First American edition of what Evans (Life of Jesus Research 1667) called "Perhaps the best of the Victorian lives of Jesus." Wildly popular in its day it quickly went through many editions worldwide. It proved especially popular in the US, however. Dutton's first bestseller, it helped establish this august publisher. Farrar was dean of Canterbury; "[w]hile at Marlborough he made his popular reputation by writing the ÔLife of Christ.Õ He sought to meet the requirements of the publishers, Messrs. Cassell, Petter & Galpin, who suggested that the sketch should enable readers to realise Christ's Ôlife more clearly, and to enter more thoroughly into the details and sequence of the gospel narratives.Õ In 1870 he visited Palestine with Walter Leaf, his pupil at Harrow, and his task was completed after much hard work in 1874. The success was surprising. Twelve editions were exhausted in a year, and thirty editions of all sorts and sizes in the author's lifetime. It has had a huge sale in America and has been translated into all the European languages. Despite its neglect of the critical problem of the composition of the gospels, and the floridity which was habitual to Farrar's style, his ÔLife of ChristÕ combined honest and robust faith with wide and accurate scholarship. The value of the excursuses has been recognised by scholars" (D.N.B.).
