1838284577Baltimore: Printed by John W. Woods 1838. First Edition. Full Leather. Very Good binding. A First Edition copy of Elder Plummer Waters' Salvation for the Chief of Sinners. the Elder was an early Baptist minister of Maryland preacher for the Fredericktown Hammond and Old Seneca Churches and a congregation in Lisbon. In his Salvation he puts forward his Baptist doctrine as well as gives an account of the opposition to his ministerial practices. He condemns the non-confrontational or purely intellectual sermons of many Maryland ministers which he likens to the dishonesty and cunning of "modern politicians." The same division on ministerial practices would eventually break the Maryland Baptists into "primitive" and "missionary" Baptists culminating in 1845. This work is perhaps an important text for examining the roots of the Maryland Baptist schism. First Edition with a partial list of subscribers to the work at the rear. Dampstaining to the bottom and top edges of the textblock and the fore edge of the preliminaries; blue spot on the bottom of some leaves; foxing throughout; nameplate on the front pastedown. Full calf with a red morocco label on the spine lettering stamped in gilt. Front board discretely reattached by a conservator. An uncommon work we locate only two copies on OCLC. Very Good.
