At Log College Press, a lot has been happening. We have been growing so much lately that we have expanded beyond the main library of authors into a new Annex.
Log College Press now has an Annex to the Main Library.
Some of the new authors found on the Annex include:
Charles Eugene Edwards (1860-1937) - He is the son of Jonathan Edwards (1817-1891), and the author of a devotional work, which has been republished in the 20th century as the Devotions and Prayers of John Calvin, its original title being Scripture Texts With Expositions and Sentence-Prayers From Calvin’s Commentaries on the Minor Prophets (1897);
Maria Fearing (1838-1937) - She was an African-American Presbyterian missionary from Alabama who served in the Congo for twenty years as a teacher and translator;
Amos Noë Freeman (1809-1893) - He was an African-American Presbyterian minister who co-authored (with Frederick Douglass and others) a famous 1853 address known as Claims of Our Common Cause;
Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) - He was the 23rd President of the United States, and a Presbyterian ruling elder, who had while in office an all-Presbyterian cabinet;
Beverly Tucker Lacy (1819-1900) - He served as chaplain to Stonewall Jackson;
Cyrus Hall McCormick (1809-1884) - He was an inventor and business who did much to support the Presbyterian Church, and who endowed what is known as McCormick Theological Seminary; and
Poon Chew Ng (1866-1931) - He was the first Chinese-American Presbyterian to minister on the American West Coast.
Also, on the Main Library, new additions include:
Over 20 additional works by Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818-1902), along with several works by his uncle, Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1781-1847);
Over 20 additional works by Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield, bringing the total number of works by him available to read at LCP closer to 300;
All volumes of The Presbyterian Quarterly to George Summey’s (1853-1954) page;
A rare copy of Alexander MacWhorther’s Century Sermon (first delivered in 1801, first published in 1807, and republished in 1916);
U.S. President Grover Cleveland’s 1888 Address Before the Northern and Southern Presbyterian Assemblies;
John McDowell’s Fifty Years a Pastor, a semi-centenary discourse;
Two rare works by John Thomas Chalmers (ARP) on Psalmody; and
much, much more, including several works added to our Compilations page.
We invite you not only to browse and explore the Main Library and the Annex, but also to let us know if you have suggestions for further additions to Log College Press. As we continue to grow, build and expand, we hope that Log College Press, including the new Annex, will continue to be beneficial to our readers as a resource that taps into the deep well of wisdom that is to be found in early American Presbyterianism. We are also working to publish more volumes, and we will have more to say about this very soon, DV. Meanwhile, thanks to all our readers and those who have contributed in many ways to the work that we are doing. We are grateful to you. May the Lord bless His Church!
