About This Item
London: Printed by J. Wright for Lawton Gilliver..., 1735. Folio, 344 x 205 mms., pp. [iv], 30 [31 adverts, 32 blank], early 19th century wrappers, recent backstrip; a very good copy. Harte (1708/09 - 1774) is said to have had had Alexander Pope's assistance in revising this poem. The poem attracted at least on satirical rebuttal, the Epistle to the Author of the Essay on Reason, published in the same year. Two years later, Harte recapitulated his theological views in a sermon, The Union and Harmony of Reason, Morality, and Revealed Religion (1737) and was promptly accused of heresy. This seems to be a straightforward reprint of the first edition, with the errata corrected, and the adverts leaf reset to add books just published.
