Charles Buck (1771-1815) was an English Independent minister and theological writer, known for his "Theological Dictionary."
The first edition of Buck's "Theological Dictionary" appeared in London in 2 volumes in 1802. Buck's Dictionary was a significant work in antebellum America, running to 50 reprints. It was conservative and evangelical in editorial line, making it a counterbalance to the "A View of Religions" (1817) of Hannah Adams which was of Unitarian and liberal tendency. Adams's British editor, the Calvinist bookseller Thomas Williams, was much influenced by Buck's work in producing his "Dictionary of All Religions". Adams then adopted some of the ideas she found in Williams. Richard Knight of Tennessee, who became a Baptist preacher, was taught to read by his wife, but "never got further in 'book learning' than the Bible and hymn book, and Buck's Theological Dictionary." It was cited as an authority by Finis Ewing; J.L. Wilson, an opponent, attacked its article on ministerial education. The American editions by William Woodward were expanded and revised.
Provenance:
From the library of John B. Wakeman of Little Falls, NY, his pencil inscription is on the back of the first blank endpaper.
Note:
Country restrictions (corona) may apply - the lesser expansive Priority shipping may not be available to all countries.
