Light dampstain to top edge with tidemark just into the margin of the final pages, otherwise sound and square with tight binding. Signed by Moody the year before he died, in Mt. Hermon, Massachusettes, the town of his birth. After moving to Chicago in 1856, Moody quit his successful shoeselling job in 1860 and devoted himself full-time to welfare and evangelistic work in the Chicago slums. After his Sunday School and headquarters were burned in the fire of 1871, Moody crossed the Atlantic with his choirmaster Ira Sankey and embarked on a wildly successful two-year evangelistic tour of the British Isles, preaching to enourmous crowds in England, Scotland, and Ireland. He returned to America a very famous evangelist and continued his urban revivalism with successful long-running meetings in all the major U.S. Cities. His preaching career culminated with massive crowds throughout 1893 at his revival alongside the Chicago Worlds Fair. Unlike many revivalists of his time, Moody was deeply concerned about the state of Biblical education among Christians. Perhaps ironically in light of his layman self-taught origins, Moody founded many education institutions, including Northfield Seminary for Girls and Mount Herman School for boys in his MA hometown, along with the missionary Student Volunteer Movement, and most notably the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Moody was the first major revivalist to espouse the incipient Dispensationalist hermeneutic. [IVP Dictionary of Christianity in America] 'Through the ministries and revivals of Dwight L. Moody, the most famous post-Civil War evangelist in the English-speakin world, a distilled version of new premillenialism washed over hundreds of thousands of Americans. ... His passion was not for the second coming as such, but for how belief in it could spark new religious practices--of conversion and personal piety, of reconciliation and cooperation, of ministry to the poor, and of global evangelization' (Daniel G. Hummel, The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism). It is no stretch to say that Moody was the most important figure in 19th century American Evangelicalism/Fundamentalism. His signature is uncommon.
