About R. Nelson, Esq. Publishing

an imprint of Steward Archives, Salem, Massachusetts

R. Nelson, Esq. Publishing is dedicated to reprinting once well-known and influential Christian works that have fallen away from common memory. Each one is a classic of faith, thought, theology, and practical advice on living a Christian life.

This imprint is dedicated to Robert Nelson (1656–1715), known as “the pious layman,” who published many religious and devotional works. His, A Companion for the Festivals and Fasts of the Church of England, was one of the most popular books of the 18th century.

             Give praise to the Lord, 

        proclaim his name;

             make known among the nations

     what he has done.

  (Psalm 105:1, NIV)
