About this Item

Removed from a book of pamphlets. Leather remnants on spine. Edges neatly trimmed. Octavo, 7 1/2" x 4 3/4" pp. 47, [1]. Page numbers 9, 10, 15, 26, 31 trimmed. Pages lightly tanned with little to no foxing. (ESTC T31848). 47pp. Clean copy. Hare was censured by convocation. It was taken to be ironical; but it is not very clear whether or not he meant to defend or denounce Samuel Clarke and William Whiston, both of whom were probably much smarter, but as often happens married less well, at least financially. The pamphlet was often reprinted, in America as late as 1809, suggesting that religious thinking in America was about 100 years out of date.
