In review of this work, C. H. Spurgeon wrote, Dr. Cramp
has long been a laborious, painstaking student of
ecclesiastical history, and his works have been
distinguished by some of the higher qualities of a
historian. His book on Baptist History is not intended
for students; at least, it is thrown into a popular mould,
and will be more acceptable to general readers, to whom
we most heartily recommend it. All Baptists should
possess a copy, and even those of our readers who do not
sympathise with our view of the ordinance of baptism,
will probably be glad to know what the immersionists have
to say about themselves. The time is past, we hope, when
religious rancour forbids one body of believers to take
an interest in another. The work is pleasantly written,
and so tastefully produced, that it would form an
acceptable gift to our young men and maidens.
