| GROVE (HENRY): Some Thoughts Concerning the Proofs of a Future State, From Reason. Occasioned by a Discourse Of the Revd. Mr. Joseph Hallett, junr. on the same Subject. London: Printed for R. Hett..., and J. Gray..., 1730. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xvi, 211 [212 blank], contemporary calf, gilt border on covers. A fine copy, with an exceptionally clean text. Inscribed on the leaf before the title-page, "To/ Thomas Welman Esq/ from his most oblig'd/ humble Servt/ the Author". As it happens, Grove also inscribed a copy (now in a private collection) for Welman's wife. Grove (1684 - 1738), a Presbyterian divine, was also tutor at Taunton Academy. The work is a reply to a book by Joseph Hallet (?1692 - 1744) entitled An Essay on the Nature and Use of Miracles: design'd against the Assertion, that They are no Proper Proof of a Divine Mission. To which is prefix'd, An Answer to some Other Objections against Reveled [sic] Religion contain'd in a Late Book, intitled, Christianity as old as the Creation (1730). Hallet had argued that a future existence could not be proved by reason and that heathens would be punished eternally. Grove prefers to argue that heathens will be annihilated, or separated permanently from God.
