About This Item
London: Printed for J. F. and C. Rivington, 1788. 28pp. Stitched, as issued. Lightly spotted. A vitriolic pamphlet, first printed in 1774, by Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist William Jones (1726-1800) disapproving of Socinianism. A tireless adversary of popular evangelicalism generally and Unitarians specifically, Jones here claims that: 'The change from Christianity to Socinianism is as little to be envied as the transmigration of those who should leave the scenery of Paradise and the plenty of Canaan, to associate with the savages of the South on a weather-beaten Rock in the Magellanic Ocean.' ESTC T119600.. Fourth edition, with corrections and additions. 12mo.
