The Complete Works of Richard Sibbes, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
The Complete Works of Richard Sibbes Vol 1 - Classic Reprint Author:Richard Sibbes In presenting the public with the first volume of what, it is hoped, will prove a standard edition of the hitherto uncollected and in-edited works of Dr Richard Sibbes, I may be permitted to make the following remarks :- — (a) Sibbes has had no preceding editor. The edition (so-called), of his ' Works/ noted below,* contains a mere fraction, and ... more »those which are included have been mutilated and most carelessly printed. It were invidious to point out the abounding blunders of these volumes. ' This edition/ says the late William Pickering, our English Aldus, 'which purports to be the entire works of Sibbes, contains only a small portion ; besides being incorrectly printed, and omitting the prefaces, dedications, and tables.' t
There have been many editions, more or less accurate, and more or less attractive in their typography, of separate treatises,- especially of the Bruised Reed and Soul's Conflict. These, so far as known to us, will be recorded in a bibliographical list of editio
