The second son of a worsted-weaver, Spencer was born at Hertford on 21 January 1791, and lost his mother at the age of five. He had to leave school and help his father in his business when 13; about 18 months later he was apprenticed for a short time to a glover in The Poultry, in the City of London. While here he was introduced to Thomas Wilson, treasurer of the Hoxton Dissenters' Training College for Ministers. He was admitted there in January 1807, after a year's preparation at Harwich, during which he studied Hebrew, and made an abridgment of John Parkhurst's Hebrew Lexicon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn June 1807 Spencer first preached in public at Collier's End, near Hertford, at age 16; and was invited to preach in the neighbouring villages and at Hertford. When barely 17 he was allowed to appear in the pulpit at Hoxton, against the rules. He became a popular preacher in the neighbourhood of London, and in December 1808 preached at Lady Huntingdon's chapel at Brighton. On 10 January 1809 he addressed large congregation from Rowland Hill's pulpit in Surrey Chapel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving visited Liverpool in the summer of 1810, Spencer on 26 September accepted an offer of the pastorate of Newington chapel there. He entered on his duties in February 1811, and on 27 June was ordained in the chapel in Byrom Street. At first he preached from 65 to 75 minutes; later, under medical advice, he limited his discourses to three-quarters of an hour. A new chapel, with accommodation for 2,000 people, was built for him, with the foundation-stone laid on 15 April.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpencer was drowned while bathing near the Herculaneum Pottery on 5 August 1811, and was buried on the 13th at Liverpool. Many funeral sermons and elegies were published. An elegy by James Montgomery was appended to the Memoirs of Spencer written by his successor at Liverpool, Thomas Raffles. An engraving by Blood, accompanied four Poems (1811) on his death by Ellen Robinson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e(Loc: Home LR shelf )\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Gently Mad Book Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44845353599284,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3496\/4020\/products\/temp_image_0_a00f1677-8b4e-4956-9974-2a0cf5c0d2db.jpg?v=1681045447"},{"product_id":"1743-new-version-of-the-psalms-of-david-n-brady-amp-n-tate-lovely-old-binding","title":"1743 New Version of the PSALMS OF DAVID - N Brady \u0026 N Tate - Lovely Old Binding","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"ds_div\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" rwr=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New Version of the Psalms of David fitted to the Tunes used in Churches\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy N Brady and N Tate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinted by J Roberts, for the Company of Stationers, London, 1743.

He was almost entirely self-educated, having acquired a knowledge of ancient languages while employed as a shepherd. By his own intense application to study, before he was twenty years of age, he had obtained an intimate knowledge of the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew languages, with the last of which he was critically conversant. He was also acquainted with the French, Italian, German, Arabic, Persian, Syriac, and Ethiopic. His early career was varied, and he was in succession a travelling merchant, a soldier in the Edinburgh garrison in 1745, and a school-master. He was, from 1750 till his death, minister of the Burgher branch of the Secession Church in Haddington. From 1768 he was professor of divinity for his denomination, and was mainly responsible for the training of its ministers. He gained a just reputation for learning and piety. The best of his many works are his Self-Interpreting Bible and Dictionary of the Bible, works that were long very popular. The former was translated into Welsh. He also wrote an Explication of the Westminster Confession, and a number of biographical and historical sketches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Loc : Platform, Scotland 1)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gently Mad Book Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54835574276473,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3496\/4020\/files\/johnbrown.jpg?v=1734188853"},{"product_id":"1691-zappata-francesco-prediche-quaresimali-lenten-sermons-vellum-italian","title":"1691 Zappata, Francesco : Prediche Quaresimali (Lenten Sermons) Vellum Italian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eZappata, Francesco.

In no other religion is sacred space and pilgrimage of such importance. Focusing on historical, sociological and environmental questions about the phenomenon of sacred space and pilgrimage in Hinduism, the author analyzes how power of place and pilgrimage became a central feature of Hinduism. He examines the meaning of the phenomenon in history and in contemporary India. Arguing that salvific power of place became a major dimension of Hinduism through a development in several stages, the book thus analyzes the historical process of how sacred space and pilgrimage in the Hindu tradition developed. Drawing on main sources such as inscriptions, Mahabharata, the Puranas, the medieval digests on sacred places (tirthas), a number of contemporary Sthalapuranas and Mahatmyas praising the sacred places as well as secondary sources, the book is also enriched by original data from the author's fieldwork.
