The Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor: Vol. 2 [of 2], by John Church 58618 [Subtitle: being a series of letters to several friends on religious subjects] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58618 ] [Files: 58618-0.txt; 58618-h.htm] For those wishing to know: some extra letters that John Church (1780-1833) wrote (some when he was in prison, some later), that he no doubt wanted to publish. Rather than add them to the end of his existing Valley of Achor book and call it a second edition, he decided to bundle them into a volume 2, reprinting the original 1818 edition again and calling that a second edition. All the best, David Overcast and cold England

The Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor: Vol. 1 [of 2], by John Church 58616 [Subtitle: being a series of letters to several friends on religious subjects] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58616 ] [Files: 58616-0.txt; 58616-h.htm] For those wishing to know: in 1817 popular preacher John Church (1780-1833) had been sentenced to two years in prison for his sexual assault on 17 year old Adam Foreman. In prison Church largely had his own quarters, lived very well (except he wasn't allowed alcohol, but he tried to smuggle it in), and even had his own library. During this period he wrote these letters to his friends, and the book was published whilst he was in prison in 1818, as Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor. In 1820 he decided to publish some more letters and reprinted the 1818 edition with no changes (except on the title page to say it was the second edition) and that is the one here. However, since he also published a "Volume II" in 1820 I've added the Vol. 1 [of 2] to the title to make things clear. In the book he uses the biblical name Ruhamah (having obtained mercy?) and the Valley of Achor is again biblical, generally meaning valley of trouble. All the best, David, Cold and damp England

The Phoenix of Sodom, by Robert Holloway 58613 [Subtitle: or the Vere Street Coterie] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58613 ] [Files: 58613-0.txt; 58613-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this pamphlet, published 1813, came about because attorney Robert Holloway became aware of a legal trick pulled on James Cook, the owner of the Swan in Vere Street, London, which had been used as a gay brothel and was raided, with Cook and some prostitutes and clients arrested. Cook was sentenced to two years in prison for keeping a disorderly house, but was then legally robbed of his money and possessions, his wife was also beaten up. Holloway helped Cook and his wife, but also wrote up their story in this pamphlet, which gives lots of details of the history of the Vere Street brothel etc. John Church the preacher also knew James Cook and various of the pamphlets on Church contain his letters and relationship with Cook and Vere Street. The Swan was demolished around 1900 and Vere Street itself no longer exists (there's another street of the same name still in London). All the best, David, Overcast England
