I thought some of you might enjoy these volumes that I found when my wife and I visited her Granny in London this past November. I’d originally found the second volume to the set sitting in the back of a top corner in a closet in her Granny’s place. Later in the week I found the first and third volumes at her Auntie’s house (which was just a block away). Come to find out, the books had been given to her Granny’s mother (Mrs. Dickenson) by Mrs.D’s Father’s Great-Aunt – Mrs. Foyer (pictured below). And under her mother’s name was the address that the they had been evacuated to during WWII. It really was a great treasure to find – a set of books that’s literally been passed across 6 generations (that we know of) in her family. In addition, it’s great Biblical truths show God’s kind faithfulness to her family to preserve the Gospel’s witness to them through the ages. It really was amazing to find.
There's little to be found on John Hurrion himself. I've found a .pdf scan of the works on the internet. He's also got 4 lectures in a volume called "Lime Street Lectures" (John Gill is also in the volume). I know that both Spurgeon and Ryle quoted from him as well. But otherwise, he seems to be a forgotten pastor of Christ's flock - much like many pastors of our own day who are serving faithfully in obscurity. Anyhow, here's some pictures:
(I'm going to have the spine repaired on Volume 1 and 3 at some point, but it's rather expensive to have done.)
