About This Item
London: Printed for John Osborn and Tho. Longman..., 1726. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xxxi [xxxii Contents], 488 [489 Errata, 490 adverts], slightly later 18th century panelled calf, morocco label; corners a little worn, but a very good copy. With the 20th century Ex Libris bookplate of John Raymond Capper on the recto of the front free end-paper and "Levenside" in an18th century hand on the front paste-down end-paper, possibly Levenside House near Dumbarton. The Trinitarian Controversy alluded to on the title-page had its most emphatic statement in the 18th century in Samuel Clarke's Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity, published in 1712. Morgan regards the concept of the trinity as unsubstantiated in the gospel and injurious to true religious principles. In this volume, he prints various "letters" to other authors engaged in the controversy, including John Cumming, Richard Blackmore, and Daniel Waterland. Another issue of this work in 1726 adds the names of S. Candler and S. Billingsley to the imprint.
