The Complete Works of Thomas Manton, D.D. Vol. II.

The republication of this great divine's writings in their present form appears to demand a few prefatory remarks. What are Manton's special merits? What claim has a man of the seventeenth century on the attention of 1871? What good thing is there about him that we should buy him and read him? These are reasonable questions, to which I propose to supply an answer in the following brief essay. A cairn examination of Manton's real worth appears a suitable accompaniment to a new edition of Manton's works.
