A book once owned by Micah Thomas


The Center for Study of the Life and Work of William Carey, D.D. (1761-1834) in Hattiesburg, Mississippi holds many books. One, by Robert Robinson, is called A Plan of Lectures on the Principles of Nonconformity. For the Instruction of Catechumens. It is a sixth edition published in Nottingham and printed and sold by C Sutton (sold also by Messrs Vernor and Hood, Lee and Hurst, and W. Baynes, London). The date is 1797. A note here reveals that "The Center's copy belonged to Micah Thomas of Abergavenny, founder of South Wales Bible College and contributor to the Baptist Magazine. An inscription probably by Thomas calls it "an admirable book.""
