An unusual and very attractive early American imprint of two works by an important late 18th and early 19th century Evangelical. 

Thomas Scott [1747-1821] is today best-remembered for his Commentary on the Whole Bible and his autobiographical work on the nature of true conversion [which he experienced through his friendship with John Newton], The Force of Truth. He was one of the most significant characters in the post-Great Awakening world that included his close friends John Newton, William Wilberforce, etc., He was successor to Newton and was also William Wilberforce's pastor; it was he and Newton who convinced Wilberforce not to leave Parliament. He was also instrumental in founding the Church Missionary Society, etc., etc.
