New York:: J. & J, Harper for D. Cooledge,, 1829.. 8vo.. Publisher's cloth-backed paper boards, title on paper-label, slightly chipped; some foxing. Faber, George Stanley. 1773-1854, controversialist and prolific author on anthropological and apocalyptic subjects. "His books on the primitive doctrines of election and justification retain some importance." [-DNB] This work is an examination of "The difficulties attendant upon deistical infidelity." Faber marshals primitive Christianity, the "false" religions of Mohammed, Odin, and a plethora of theological debates to prove that "the rejection of Christianity involves a higher degree of credulity than the acceptance of it.... [and] that it is more difficult to pronounce the gospel as an imposture than to admit it as a revelation from heaven." [-Feldman p.397] NSTC 2F432.

Cologne [Frankfurt]:: N.P.,, 1731.. First Edition.. 4to.. A-E4. Modern full pebble-grain leather, gilt title. Engraved frontis. Fassmann (1683-1744). ÒIn 1683, there appeared in Paris the Noveaux dialogues des morts of Fontenelle, in which eminent deceased persons, such as princes, statesmen, ans scholars, told of their lives and compared them with each other. Fassmann picked up this idea and succeeded in holding interest of the public with it for several decennia... Although FassmannÕs for safetyÕs and cautionÕs sake, professes to agree with the contemporary theologians in various matters, the work remains substantially true to the spirit of the early Enlightenment. It shows journalistic tendencies, as well as some of the flair of the professional writer who knows how to deal with subjects appealing to the popular and sensation-seeking taste of the time.Ó [-Faber du Faur].
