Description of Jonathan Edwards, author of Letters and Personal Writings:

This volume gathers together for the first time all known extant letters of Jonathan Edwards, along with his major personal writings. For more than three decades, George S. Claghorn has scoured America, Great Britian, and Scotland for letters and documents by and about Edwards. The result is an unparalleled compendium of 236 letters--including 116 never before published or never reprinted since Edward's death--and four autobiograhical texts: Edwards' meditation "On Sarah Pierpont," about his future wife and "Diary," "Resolutions," and "Personal Narrative."
