About This Item

J. Wilkie, London: 1771-1774., 1774 Three volumes in one. pp. vi, 128; [8], 205, [1]; v, [1], 187, [1]. Uncut. Deckle edged. Some foxing, but a very very nice copy in a recent binding of quarter calf over marbled boards. Henry Taylor (1711-1785) was "among the last of the divines of the Clarkean school; but he outran his master, openly espousing the Apollinarian heresy, this he did in (this) series of letters. [The work] abounds in learning and in argument, but is very discursive. The seventh letter, On Miracles, was separately reprinted by his son William" - DNB. It is this discursive quality that most attracts our attention today. Roth, Magna Anglo-Judaica, 287: 70. ESTC T101250-2. Quite scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W144 Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good.
