1853 ASAHEL NETTLETON. Early Revival Memoir of Asahel Nettleton - Second Great Awakening.

A very smart copy of the primary biography of the anti-Finney old-school Presbyterian prototype of the doctrinally-centered revivalist. The text is both pietistically positive, providing positive examples of the gospel-results of doctrinal preaching for revival and in an aversion of the "new measures" of Finney, Burchard, etc., and negative examples of the opposite.  [Second Great Awakening]. Tyler, Bennet. Memoir of the Life and Character of Rev. Asahel Nettleton, D.D. Boston. Doctrinal Tract and Book Society. 1853. 367pp. Rare in the original edition. This example rather nice, some light chipping an bumping, but else quite good. Minor ex library.
