CHURCH, Richard William.

The Works [Gifts of Civilisation and other sermons and lectures; Saint Anselm; Bacon; Miscellaneous Essays].

Church was regarded as one of the finest preachers of his generation, and his university and cathedral sermons, mainly on moral and social questions, were later published in several collections. As a writer he excelled as a literary critic and essayist, free of the insularity which limited the outlook of many Victorian divines. His biographies are written with warmth and insight.

4 volumes, small octavo. Contemporary full vellum, morocco labels to spines, titles gilt, rules to boards gilt, marbled endpapers. Very good.
