1687 JONATHAN EDWARDS. His Personal Copy of One of His Favorite Commentaries. Poole's Annotations.

I believe this is the third or fourth volume we have ever handled from the personal library of Jonathan Edwards. This one with wonderful provenance, having been gifted to Jonathan Edwards' own grandson, Timothy Woodbridge, upon being ordained pastor of the church at Green River, New York in 1818. He himself had quite an interesting life as well [see below].  The attestation reads, "This Book was the Property of President Edwards and was always kept in his study and used by him. (Attest) Timothy Woodbridge. Grandson of Johnathan Edwards. Nov. 18, 1818 the day of my installation, TW" Very scarce to have anything Edwards connected with this direct of a line of provenance.  The present has been in our personal collection for the last ten years or so, but we have decided to reduce our own holdings somewhat over the next year or so.  Poole, Matthew.
