EDWARDS, Thomas.

Tunbridge Wells: Lewis Hepworth and Morriss, 1893. First Edition. Octavo. Bound in russet cloth, with titles to front board, and decorative ruling to both front and rear boards. Decorative foliate endpapers. Binding shows minimal signs of wear. Internally clean, excepting some darkening to front and rear free endpapers from binder's glue. Edwards, sometime minister of Salem Chapel, Tunbridge Wells, was chiefly renowned for his book of hymns "Waters in the Wilderness". While his verse retains some choral overtones, for instance in "Our Complex Life" (which concludes "Beautiful, but spoiled through sinning"), others depict the scenery and history of the area, including the High Rocks, the Common, and a paean to Tunbridge Wells.
