The Works of the Late Reverend Mr. Matthew Henry; Being a Complete Collection of All the Discourses, Sermons and Other Tracts, That Were Published by Himself. Together With an Account of His Life, and a Sermon, ... Both by the Reverend Mr. William Tong

This collection represents an ambitious effort to consolidate the literary output of Matthew Henry, an influential Nonconformist minister best known for his exhaustive six-volume biblical commentary. Published in the early 18th century, shortly after his death in 1714, this volume serves as a comprehensive anthology of his sermons, discourses, and tracts that were previously scattered across various publications, ensuring that his theological contributions remained accessible to his contemporaries.

The volume features a biographical account by William Tong, a fellow minister and close associate of Henry, who provided both the narrative of Henry’s life and a funeral sermon included in the text. The design and assembly of this work reflect the period's preference for monumental, posthumous collections of religious discourse, intended to solidify a prominent theologian's legacy. While the original physical editions were crafted for the libraries of devout scholars and clergy, the content remains a primary resource for studying the theological climate and practical piety of English Dissenting traditions.
