The Works of the Rev. William Law

1892027385London: Privately Printed for G. Moreton 1892. Octavo. . 9 volume set. First published in 1762. While Law's fame was based on his A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life v. 4 and A Practical Treatise on Christian Perfection v. 3 it was his earlier writing on Mandevilles Fable of the Bees that brought him fame. V.1. Three letters to the Bishop of Bangor. -- v. 2. Remarks upon . the fable of the bee etc. -- v. 3. A practical treatise on Christian perfection. -- v. 4. A serious call to a devout and holy life. -- v. 5. A demonstration of the errors of a late book . and The grounds and reasons of Chrstian regeneration. v. 6. An answer to Dr. Trapp and An appeal to all that doubt . v. 7. The spirit of prayer and The way to divine knowledge. -- v. 8. The spirit of love. -- v. 9. An address to the clergy. His call for wealthy and cultivated readers to renounce the world and follow the gospel met no greater success than it does today for modern readers be they liberals or evangelicals. What many have overlooked was he spent a great deal of time reading Jacob Boheme as well as Madame Guyon and Thomas a Kempis. His small group of followers gave food clothes and money to beggars which was condemned by the established church. As he grew closer to the teachings of Jesus and the writers of the mystical tradition he was persona not grata in the religious world though today he is considered one of the most important writers on Christian devotion. The British National Biography notes that his 17th century devotional work continued even thought John Wesley attempted to abridge his writing. This 1892 is the last great edition of his works. Bound in blue-green cloth spines lettered in gilt dark blue coated endpapers. A very good set with minor wear to spine ends and some staining or rubbing to spines of a few volumes. Privately Printed for G. Moreton unknown books
