Personal Reminiscences of Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The author, William Williams, became pastor at Upton Chapel, Lambuth, in 1877. He was a close friend of C. H. Spurgeon. In his introduction to the book, Williams stated, “I do not propose to write another life of Mr. Spurgeon. I propose writing of the great preacher as I knew him, and as I saw him, under a great variety of circumstances and conditions; giving, I trust, no offence in anything, that this ministry be not blamed. I hope in the ensuing chapters each reader may participate to some extent in the joy I experienced when in company with one of the master minds and most gracious characters of this or indeed of any age.” Williams also complied a book of sermons: Upton Chapel Sermons. A Centenary Memorial, which was published in 1885. Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote the Foreword.
