Shindler, R. - From the Usher's Desk to the Tabernacle Pulpit - Pastor C.H. Spurgeon: His Life and Work (1892)
Passsmore & Alabaster was Spurgeon’s de facto publisher beginning in the mid-1850’s—partly due to the fact that Joseph Passmore was a deacon in Spurgeon’s church. As a result, the books they printed are, by majority, the most desirable of all of C.H.’s publications over the years; much of what they printed was highly influenced by the wishes and encouragements of C.H. in particular.
This biography was published almost immediately by Passmore & Alabaster after their beloved friend passed away in Mentone, France. It includes a vast amount of info and anecdotes of Spurgeon and his life. It would be as ‘authorized’ of a biography as there was following his passing. It covers Spurgeon’s ancestry all the way to his death and most everything notable in between.
A must have for any true Spurgeon collector.
