The Complete Works of the Rev. Matthew Henry (his Unfinished Commentary Excepted): Being a Collection of All His Treatises, Sermons, and Tracts, as Published by Himself : and a Memoir of His Life

This substantial collection was compiled and published in the mid-19th century to consolidate the non-commentary writings of the influential Nonconformist minister Matthew Henry. Following his death in 1714, his work remained staples of devotional literature, but his shorter tracts, sermons, and occasional treatises were often scattered. This compilation served as a definitive effort to organize his miscellaneous theological contributions into a single, accessible repository, providing a comprehensive look at the ministerial and pastoral philosophy that underpinned his more famous scriptural expositions.

The volume includes an extensive biographical memoir, which was a standard convention of the era to provide readers with the spiritual context of the author's life. The editorial design focused on scholarly preservation, adhering to the rigorous theological standards of the Victorian period. By excluding his incomplete commentary on the Bible, the publishers focused entirely on his practical divinity, a selection that was well-received by nineteenth-century seminaries and lay readers seeking to engage with Henry’s broader intellectual and devotional legacy.
