Volume 1 of a 2 v. set ; lxxx, 420 pp. ; 22 cm. ; full leather ; red label ; foxing ; front hinge shaken ; tiny fly pressed in margin of advertisement [!] ; "Lectures on Ecclesiastical History (1800), the first part of Campbell's divinity course to be published, was also the most controver…sial. Campbell intended these particular lectures for the press, no doubt because they concerned the nature and form of the Christian Church, matters that dominated his thought in the last years of his life. The lecture went to press virtually unedited. He traced the means by which a collection of small, independent, and egalitarian congregations were transformed into a multi-layered, hierachical and elitist government that was ultimately subjugated to the Bishop of Rome. His conclusion that early bishops were nothing more than congregational ministersimplicitly challenged the foundation of the Scottish Episcopal Church."--Jeffrey M. Suderman, Orthodoxy and Enlightenment: George Campbell in the Eighteenth Century ; Bookplate of William Speer. ; "The Reverend William Speer was born at Lower Marsh Creek, in York, now Adams county, Pennsylvania. He was graduated at Dickinson College, Carlisle, A. D. 1788. Mr. Speer was regarded with great respect by the people of his congregation. He was a man of highly respectable talents-a sensible, instructive, and evangelical preacher. His method of treating his subjects was sometimes too profound and abstruse for those whose minds were not disciplined to thought. But, by the more intelligent, he was viewed as a very profitable preacher. When among strangers, he was stately and reserved in his manners: but among his intimate acquaintances, he was cheerful and companionable in a high degree. He had a high standing in the judicatories of the church, as a judicious and sagacious counselor."--David Elliot, The life of the Rev. Elisha Macurdy, 1848 ; "The Speer family was of Scotch Presbyterian descent and according to family tradition lived in Ulster for at least 100 years before coming to America. In America they became ardent patriots, providing soldiers for the French and Indian wars and for the Continental Army of General Washington. They were also behind the Whiskey Rebellion which resisted prohibitory taxes on processed farm products. They rejected slavery and were behind the laws making Pennsylvania slave free. They were devout people, firmly believing in the goodness of God and faith in the future. The Speer family motto is : 'Dominus providebit,' or the Lord will provide."--George D. Speer ; "To the memory of the Reverend William Speer, Pastor of the united congregations of Greensburg and Unity. With a mind vigorous and discriminating, richly furnished with literature, he early consecrated himself to the service of Christ. In the pulpit he was profound, instructive and often eloquent. In deliberative assemblies, Pre-eminent; as a pastor, laborious, faithful, firm in maintaining doctrine and discipline; in manners, accomplished, grave and dignified; in friendships, sincere an steadfast. The relations of life he adorned by prudence and strict integrity; in his family, loving and beloved. His piety, consistent in life, triumphant in death. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace." --Rev. Wm Brown ; Speer indicates in a handwritten note on the front endpaper that the original price for the set was $7 and that he purchased the set at auction in May of 1813 for $3 ; G. Book.
