188270434London: Jas. Nisbet & Co. 1882. First editions of both of these titles here bound together are uncommon Library Hub shows just three of the former and four of the latter title WorldCat adds no further copies. Nisbet was published largely for the evangelical and juvenile markets and this little volume is no exception combining elements of both. The first relates the conversion of Private Musgrave in India while in the second "The prefatory note signed by H.J. Everard actually W.J. Evered Poole contains a tract written by Mrs. Everard Poole entitled "What a Penny Once Did" and relates an incident regarding a soldier leaving for Zululand.

The Preface states that these lectures were delivered at Waterford in the beginning of the year 1833. At that time the author held the office of Manager of the Waterford Branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. He had also assisted in the formation of the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution. Some of the men who had formed the organization consented to become lecturers and deliver these lectures. This book is Volume V and covers the History and Principles of Ancient Commerce. The author states in the Preface for the first section the original preface to the unpublished edition: "This book is not published but is printed chiefly to enable me to present copies to my friends. I hope it will be useful to those who are young and not uninteresting to those who are no longer young. To myself it will furnish a memorial of my performances as a lecturer--a character in which I never appeared before and which I shall never appear again. It will also bring to my recollection some very agreeable associations connected with the period when the lectures were delivered. When the hand of Time compels one to look back upon the past one feels less pleasure in surveying the fields of even honourable and successful controversy than in viewing those seasons in which on however limited a stage and for however short a period one has contributed to the promotion of peace and good-will among men." J. W. G. London March 10 1847.The Notice on the back of the title page has -- 'The executors of the late Mr. Gilbert in placing before the public a reprint of his works deem it right to state that no alterations have been made in the original text beyond the correction of dates and the omission of some obsolete matter; but that the works are issued in accordance with the provisions of his will and remain as they were left by the author.' " Contents: Lectures on The History and Principles of Ancient Commerce; The Social Effects of the Reformation; The Preacher or Essays on Preaching with an Appendix on the Delivery of Addresses from the Platform; The Philosophy of History. -- with a bonus offer-- .
