The New Park Street Pulpit, Containing Sermons Preached and Revised by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, Minister of the Chapel, During the Year 1856. Vol. II.

London: Passmore & Alabaster, 4 Paternoster Buildings, 1857.

An attractive original 1857 volume of C. H. Spurgeon’s early sermons, published while Spurgeon was still minister of New Park Street Chapel, before the opening of the Metropolitan Tabernacle.

This is Volume II of the New Park Street Pulpit, containing Sermons Nos. 54–106, representing Spurgeon’s preaching from 1856. The New Park Street Pulpit eventually comprised six volumes covering sermons 1–347 from Spurgeon’s earliest London ministry

Among the sermons in this volume are:

• Christ Our Passover
• The Comforter
• Sovereignty and Salvation
• Watch-Night Service
• Effectual Calling
• Christ in the Covenant
• Omniscience
• The Plea of Faith
• Turn or Burn

The volume concludes with Sermon No. 106, “Turn or Burn.”

An especially appealing feature is the original gilt device on the front board bearing the words “We Preach Christ and Him Crucified.” The preface also carries a printed facsimile of Spurgeon’s signature — this should not be confused with an original autograph.

This is from the original Passmore & Alabaster series from which later editions and reprints of the New Park Street and Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit ultimately derive.

Physical details: 220 × 150 × 32 mm. Weight approximately 655 g. Pagination: [8], 1–424 pages. Hardcover.

Good antiquarian condition. Original Victorian publisher’s cloth binding with blind-stamped decoration and attractive gilt device to the front board. Binding shows age-related rubbing and fading, with wear/fraying at the spine ends and corners, as photographed. Pages are generally sound with expected age-toning and occasional spotting/handling marks. Previous owner’s name and date to front endpaper. A few minor pencil marks/numerals may be present, though none detected. One photographed leaf near the end has a turned/creased lower corner - a few other leaves with smaller corners creases present also. 

Please study the photographs carefully as these are part of the dcescription.

A particularly attractive early Spurgeon volume for collectors of nineteenth-century evangelical, Baptist and Nonconformist literature.
