I have also been enjoying some of these reprints. I notice they also did one volume of James Hamilton from his (now out of print) six volume collected works. For those of you unfamiliar with Hamilton, he was a Church of Scotland/Free Church minister in the 1800s at Regent Square Presbyterian Church in London. If that sounds familiar, you might remember that is where Edward Irving preached. Hamilton was his succcesor! Hamilton, however, from all that I have read, seems quite orhodox and his litereary skill is breathtaking. His ability to paint word pictures gives a vividness to the texts on which he prached. Worth checking out

William Arnot's biography of James Hamilton (1814 - 1867) is available online here. He was influential both in Scottish and English Presbyterianism.

Kessinger has reprinted several of his writings, found here.

Works, Vol. 1
Works, Vol. 2
Works, Vol. 3
Works, Vol. 4
Works, Vol. 5
Works, Vol. 6
The Royal Preacher: Lectures on Ecclesiastes
