Saw this item on ebay. Seem to recall there are Spurgeon hunters out there
is Essex land, and this is a chance to own something directly connected to
them. I am not connected in any way, shape or form with the seller.

I cannot prove this is the famous family but they lived in the same area and
it is a high probability they were related to the great preacher.

J S Spurgeon certainly owned the same sort of books that Charles Haddon
loved.
