The Little Professor

This Week's Acquisitions

  • Historical Tales for Young Protestants (American Sunday-School Union, n.d.). Reprint of a collection first published by the RTS in 1857. The British Library ascribes it to the otherwise unknown J. H. Crosse; however, Ralph David Byles claims it for one of his ancestors, the prolific Christian novelist Esther Beuzeville Hewlett Copley.

  • The Christian Witness and Congregational Magazine, n.s. II (1866). British Congregationalists; theological and controversial articles, poetry, didactic fiction, etc. There's a very basic overview of Congregationalism here.

  • Harry Shaw, ed., Critical Essays on Sir Walter Scott: The Waverley Novels (G. K. Hall, 1996). Useful anthology of major essays and book excerpts, ranging from the mid-19th c. to the present day.
