	MORGAN (THOMAS): A Collection of Tracts, Relating to The Right of Private Judgment, the Sufficiency of Scripture, and the Terms of Church-Communion; upon Christian Principles: Occasion'd by the late Trinitarian Controversy. And now revised and published all together; Wi London: Printed for John Osborn and Tho. Longman..., 1726. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xxxi [xxxii Contents], 488 [489 Errata, 490 adverts], slightly later 18th century panelled calf, morocco label; corners a little worn, but a very good copy. With the 20th century Ex Libris bookplate of John Raymond Capper on the recto of the front free end-paper and "Levenside" in an18th century hand on the front paste-down end-paper, possibly Levenside House near Dumbarton. The Trinitarian Controversy alluded to on the title-page had its most emphatic statement in the 18th century in Samuel Clarke's Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity, published in 1712. Morgan regards the concept of the trinity as unsubstantiated in the gospel and injurious to true religious principles. In this volume, he prints various "letters" to other authors engaged in the controversy, including John Cumming, Richard Blackmore, and Daniel Waterland. Another issue of this work in 1726 adds the names of S. Candler and S. Billingsley to the imprint.

	SMITH (ELISHA): The Cure of Deism: Or, The Mediatorial Scheme by Jesus Christ the only true religion. In Answer to the Objections started, and to the very imperfect Account of the Religion of Nature, and of Christianity, given by the Two Oracles of Deism, the Author of London: Printed for the Authors: And sold by W. Innys and R. Manby..., 1736. FIRST EDITION. 2 volumes. 8vo, pp. [xvi], 406 [407 Errata, 408 blank]; [viii], 356 [357 - 382 Index, 383 Errata, 384 blank], contemporary calf, spines ornately gilt in compartments, red morocco titling on volume 2 (missing on volume 1), black morocco numbering labels on each volume, lion motif on top of crown label in lower panels on spines, probably repeating the lion on the armorial book label of Edward, Lord Suffield on the front paste-down end-paper of each volume; tops and bases of spines chipped, front joint volume 1 cracked and tender, rear joint volume 1 cracked. Smith (?1683 - 1740) had a rather unexpected success with this work, which reached a third edition by 1739. Attacks on Tindal and Shaftesbury were, of course, popular and numerous, but Smith does not limit himself to reproofs of these authors. Almost every author who evinced even the slightest tinge of deism or of a profession of natural religion as opposed to revealed religion is called for, if not rebuttal, as least admonition.

	WARBURTON (WILLIAM). [MORGAN (THOMAS)]: A Brief Examination of the Rev. Mr. Warburton's Divine Legation of Moses. In which The Mosaic Theocracy, the Nature and Character of the Sacred Writings, the Antiquity of Hero-Gods, and a future, separate State of Animal Life, and Action for Souls after London: Printed for T. Cox..., 1742. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, lxxxiv, 175 [176 blank], recent plain grey boards, paper label on spine; title-page margins a little frayed and title-page slightly stained. . Warburton's Divine Legation of Moses (1738 - 1741) provoked a large number of responses, usually unfavourable from clerics who thought his argument that in the ancient Hebraic world, a "life after death" was not invoked as a mandate for virtuous living. Morgan, a deist, makes a number of ironic compliments to Warburton but more-or-less argues that he doesn't take his argument to its logical conclusion.
