Title: Family Expositor or a Paraphrase and Version of the New Testament with Critical Notes
Description: London, J Waugh, 1745. Leather. Two original leatherbound volumes. Two very early volumes of this influential edition of the New Testament. Philip Doddridge (1702-51) was an English Nonconformist leader and writer. Throughout the 1730s and 1740s Philip Doddridge continued his academic and pastoral work, and developed close relations with numerous early religious revivalists and independents, through extensive visits and correspondence. Through this approach he helped establish and maintain a circle of influential independent religious thinkers and writers, including Dr Isaac Watts. He also became a prolific author and hymn-writer. This is volumes one and two only. These volumes could do with some repair work. In full calf bindings. There is some wear to the extremities including bumping to the corners, heavy rubbing, scratches and some loss to the leather. There is some loss to the spine label of volume 2. The bindings are tight and firm, although the front outer hinges are cracked and the rear boards are holding by the cords only and these could become detached in the post. Internally the pages are generally clean and bright with the occasional handling mark and odd spot. The front blank endpaper of Volume 2 is detached and present but the rear blank endpaper is detached and missing. There are no blank endpapers present in Volume 1 and there is some creasing and a tear with loss to the bottom of the title page. Good Only . Ill.: None. Good Only .
