CONDER (Eustace Rogers, 1820-1892, Congregational Divine)

2 Autograph Letter Signed to (later the Revd. Sir) James Marchant, 1867-1956, referring him to his 'Congregational Lecture' of 1877, 'The Basis of Faith', and saying, "the practical question is - are we satisfied to stick fast in difficulties, & shut our eyes to the evidence? ... for a sensible man, difficulties go for nothing, when there is clear downright positive evidence the other way ... My book is an attempt to give an honest estimate of this evidence", with a leading example (17th January 1887), he sends his book, "I owe a debt of gratitude to those who endeavour to make any writings of mine useful", some of his lectures have been "cut up ... into a number of short tracts ... This has been much complained of by some", and wishing they might be reprinted as originally (10th November 1891), together 7 sides 8vo., Leeds, 1887 - a trifle browned

Marchant, a free church minister, had friends of all denominations. From 1889-1893 he was Lecturer on Christian apologetics to the Bishop of St. Albans.
