A Brief Exposition of the Epistles of Paul...

[Southern Presbyterian]

to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians by James Fergusson.

It's a very old copy (no copyright information) published by Thomas Ward and Co., London. Anyone have any idea about how I could go about dating or even guessing a date for this book?

I've been looking for this for months now and never thought I would find a copy within my piddly budget. I got it for $15 at Alibris. Wooo Hoooo! Praise the Lord!!
I'm really looking forward to digging into this treasure trove.

Thanks to Rev. Winzer for introducing me to James Fergusson.

Thanks to Rev. Winzer for introducing me to James Fergusson.

You're welcome! I'm glad it didn't end up costing a pretty penny.

I think the Thomas Ward edition was printed in 1841.

Spurgeon says (remarking on the 1841 edition):

He who possesses this work is rich. The author handles his matter in the same manner as Hutcheson and Dickson, and he is of their class -- a grand, gracious, savory divine.

Is this online anywhere?

Not that I know of. But I found some really great prices for the 2001 SGP edition online (as low as $5-6), though I don't know if the shipping fees to Northern Ireland would negate that value.

There are two "new" copies on Amazon, for example, which are under $6.00.

Boy, Andrew, I searched everywhere I could think of online under both the author's name and the title and could only come up with the old editions, most costing $100+. I never even considered an updated title.

Next time I'm looking for something like this I'll PM you first.

Thanks for the link though. My Pastor is interested in getting a copy for his library.

No problem, glad to be of assistance (anytime).

BTW, I don't have the SGP edition, so I can't comment on its merit; my edition is the 1978 Banner of Truth edition, based on the 1841 edition, and also bound with David Dickson's commentary on Hebrews, and I like it.
