Description: London: Sold by Messrs. Rivington..., 1799, 1805. FIRST EDITION. 5 volumes. Large 12mo (in 6s), pp. [ii], 339 [340 Contents]; xiv [xv - xvi blank], 413 [414 blank]; [iv], 403 [404 blank]; [3] - 407 [408 blank]; [3] - 316, including half-titles in volumes 1 - 3, later 19th century half green calf, marbled boards, gilt spines; bindings a bit worn and knocked about, but sound with all covers firmly attached. Biddulph (1763 - 1838) was a popular preacher and minister, who tended a parish in Bristol most of his clerical life. He published a number of works on theology; today, he is sometimes remembered as the minister who conducted the burial service of Hannah More in 1833. These essays appear to be uncommon: ESTC T87426 locates only two copies for the first volume, L and Llp. No copies of the four 1805 volumes traced in RLG or OCLC, though later editions are readily found.
