    Description

    Author's Presentation Copy, First Edition, Leather Binding, Rebound, Signed, Very Scarce

    The very scarce first edition of this theological pamphlet from Reverend John Hawkins.

    Signed by Hawkins to the half title, with 'from the author' to the head of the leaf. Leaf trimmed to fore edge, resulting in the absence of the 'or' of 'author'. 

    Hawkins offers a direct response to the Unitarian theologian Joseph Priestley’s criticisms of Trinitarian doctrine and the Church of England. Hawkins defends those who subscribe to the Thirty-Nine Articles, particularly the doctrines of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ, which Priestley had publicly rejected.
