Meditations for the Aged: Adapted to the Progress of Human Life
By John Brewster
Printed for F.C. and J. Rivington, London, 1814. Half leather binding, pp viii, 435.
Good condition - the leather binding is good with some rubbing. All contents present and pages in good condition throughout with perhaps the odd bt of light spotting to some pages. Overall good.
John Brewster was the son of the Rev. Richard Brewster, M.A., vicar of Heighington in County Durham. He received his education at the grammar school of Newcastle upon Tyne under Hugh Moises, and at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1775, and M.A. in 1778. He was appointed curate of Stockton-on-Tees in 1776, and lecturer there in 1777. In 1791 he was presented to the vicarage of Greatham, benefice he held until 1799, when he became vicar of Stockton through the patronage of Bishop Shute Barrington. Barrington later preferred him to the rectories of Redmarshall in 1805, Boldon in 1809, and Egglescliffe in 1814.
