Boydell & Brewer are pleased to announce that as from 1 December 2001 they will be distributing the Victoria County History, which has an international reputation as a work of reference for English local history. Begun in 1899, the publication of about three new volumes each year is gradually creating an encyclopedic history of the counties, ranging from earliest times to the present. For each county there is or is planned a set of volumes, containing general chapters on subjects such as prehistory and ecclesiastical and economic history, and topographical chapters giving a comprehensive, fully referenced account of each city, town and village in the county. Fourteen county sets have been completed; work is in progress on a further thirteen.
Deeply admired by contemporaries such as King George III, Henry Venn and George Whitefield (who described her as 'all in a flame for Jesus'), Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon (1707-91) left an indelible mark on the Evangelical Awakening of the Eighteenth Century. Closely involved for nearly forty years with the leaders of the burgeoning Methodist movement, she gave herself unstintingly to the cause of Christ. She contributed sacrificially to the construction of sixty-four chapels, the opening of many other places of worship, and the founding of Trevecca College in Wales. Drawing on unpublished letters, Faith Cook gives a deeper and truer-to-life portrait than previously available. Introducing the reader to a gallery of well-known Eighteenth Century personalities, she takes us behind the scenes into Selina's drawing rooms. There the Countess secured an entrance for the gospel among the aristocracy through the powerful preaching of such evangelical luminaries as George Whitefield, William Romaine and John Fletcher. The driving passion of Selina's life, according to the author, was 'a zeal for the salvation of her servants, her acquaintances, her family and the nobility'. As Lady Catherwood points out in the Foreword, Faith Cook's biography not only rescues the Countess from undeserved obscurity and misrepresentation, but also shows what God can accomplish through the tireless labours of a godly woman whose heart's desire was that the 'dear Lamb of God, my best, my eternal, my only Friend should have all dedicated to his service and glory'.
Excerpt from History of the Presbytery of Huntingdon The original design was principally to rescue from oblivion the names of the original members of the Presbytery, whose labors were so abundant, and whose trials and disadvantages wera, i so great. In addition to the extensive fields which they had to cultivate, the want of suitable church buildings in which they had to minister, added greatly to their discomfort, which they shared in common with the people. The first churches were built of unhewn logs, without any plastering, sometimes without any oor, and always without fire. In the coldest season of the year, the minister had to preach and the people to bear, with their overcoats buttoned up to their chin, and seldom was the sermon less than an hour and a half, and often much longer. Instead of the cushioned pews of these days, slab-stools without any support to the back, and sometimes not even these, were the only sitting accommodations. In one instance, of which we have been informed, the congregation sat usually upon the sleepers on which the oor was afterwards laid, with their feet dangling to the ground. Our modern congregations with their expensive churches, luxuriously cushioned pews, multiplied heaters, and half-hour sermons, could they be transported back to those primitive times, might sooner renounce their faith in the gospel than submit to so much self-denial in the profession of it. But to those hardy gospel-loving people, a hardy God-fearing race of ministers preached, who expected to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Let their ashes rest in peace, till they rise in glory in the general resur rection morn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
