About This Item

London: Printed for W. Innys [Part I]; Printed for Cornelius Crownfield and John Crownfield [Part II]; Printed for John Crownfield [Part III.]..., 1730, 1731, 1732. FIRST EDITION of all three parts. 8vo, 198 x 119 mms., pp. [iv], 96 [last page misnumbered 94]; [iv], 160; [iv], 123 [124 adverts], original boards, handwritten label in ink on spine, armorial bookplate of W. Wynne on front paste-down end-paper; binding a little soiled, but a very good copy. Wynne is probably William Wynn[e] (1709 - 1760), the Church of England Clergyman and Welsh-language poet, as the wording on the armorial book plate is in Welsh: "Ne bydd doeth Na Ddarllenno." The motto on the Cardiff Free Library is similar: "'Ni bydd doeth ni ddarlleno" (he who does not read will not be wise). Daniel Waterland (1683 - 1740) was one of many theologians and clerics who published a reply to Matthew Tindal's Christianity as Old as the Creation (1730). His argument that the Scriptures were represented in language that might appear simple and direct, but which had to be interpreted on other levels for its truths to be accurately revealed. There are a number of various locations in ESTC and other online databases for each part, but I could not find a listing for a volume with first editions of all three parts in the same volume.
