There are a remarkable number of good old books available in whole or in part at Google Books. Here is a list of a few that I have come across recently.
I'll begin with the what seems to me to be the gem of the collection (links are to Google Books except as noted otherwise):
Ridgley, Thomas - A Body of Divinity, being the substance of Lectures on the Larger Catechism (vol. 1)(vol. 1 - second copy); (vol 2)(vol. 2 - second copy) (pdf/txt/main from Archive); (vol. 3); and (vol. 4)(vol. 4 - second copy)
Watson, Thomas - A Body of Practical Divinity, Consisting of more than 170 Sermons on the Shorter Catechism, 4th Edition (link)
Tenison, Thomas - Popery Not Founded on Scripture (vol. 2)
Usher, James - Eighteen Sermons Preached in Oxford (link)
Gillespie, George - Treatise of Miscellany Questions (link)
Charnock, Stephen - Two Discourse: Of Man's Emnity to God; and Of the Salvation of Sinners (link)
Sedgwick, Obadiah - Humbled Sinner Resolved what he should do to be Saved (link)
Beveridge, William - Theological Thesaurus (link)
Mather, Samuel - The Figures or Types of the Old Testament by which Christ and the Heavenly Things of the Gospel were Preached and Shadowed to the People of God of Old (link)
I cannot vouch for every word of each book, but they are generally books that have proven their worth over time.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Great stuff! Here are some other good classics on Google I have come across recently:
ReplyDeleteBB Warfield: Calvin and the Reformation
BB Warfield: The Plan of Salvation
Charles Hodge: A Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans
J Gresham Machen: The Origin of Paul's Religion (this is an excellent resource for responding to "Jesus came from myth religions" argumentation that many uneducated skeptics put forth)
