This was the edition in which he announced that he would shortly publish a work on the heavens and theology, which became, of course, Astro-Theology (1715).

	HUNTINGTON (WILLIAM): An Innocent Game for Babes in Grace; Or, Diversion for Infants at the Hole of the Asp. London: Printed by J. Rozea...; To be sold at Providence Chapel..., 1785. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. 51 [52 blank], disbound; title-page stained, and some intermittent stains in text. Huntington (1745 - 1813), the preacher and religious writer, was the natural son of a Kent farmer, Barnabas Russel, though he was baptized with the name of his putative father, Hunt. Following the example of his biological father, he also fathered a child out of wedlock but was prevented from marrying her. He expanded his name to Huntington, took up preaching, and later supported himself and his family when he moved to London. His text here is Isaiah XI, 8, though Luke X, 19, is quoted on the title-page; the techniques that of explications de texte. ESTCT16201 locates copies in L, C, LVu. A second edition was published in 1787 (ESTCT73865: L, BMp, Ldw, Owo; NNcD); and a third edition in 1799 (ESTCT73866: L (2); DeGE, NMH-AH).

	HUTCHINSON (JOHN): An Abstract from the Works of John Hutchinson, Esquire. Being a Summary of his Discoveries in Philosophy and Divinity. Edinburgh, Printed by R. Fleming: And sold by A. Kincaid and A. Donaldson..., 1753. FIRST EDITION. 12mo (in 6s), 165 x 102 mms., pp. [iv], 450, 2 engraved plates, contemporary annotations and marks in text, amateurishly "bound" in sheepskin boards that are slightly larger than the text block, crude backstrip. Hutchinson (1674 - 1737) was cured of lead poisoning by Dr. John Woodward and later pursued a career as a natural philosopher. Most of his scientific inquiries, however, were heavily tinged with religion, and he seems almost to think that the Old Testament contains clues and information about natural science. His works were popular with the sort of reader who found John Wesley's views on electricity and other scientific phenomena convincing. This abstract of several of his works is attributed to Robert Spearman and/or George Horne, Bishop of Norwich. ESTC T99488 locates 10 copies in British libraries, and Essex Institute, Johns Hopkins, Clark, and Toronto in North America.

	MILN (ROBERT): A Course of Physico-Theological Lectures upon the State of the World, from the Creation to the Deluge. Carlisle: Printed by J. Milliken: And sold by R. Faulder..., 1786. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xxiv [xxv additional subscribers, xxvi blank], 383 [384 blank], uncut, recently recased in boards, paper label on spine; edges soiled and a bit worn. Robert Miln flourished c. 1785 - 1795 and wrote several other short works, but the dates of his birth and death are unknown. He was apparently a resident of Carlisle, as the preface is dated 10 January 1786 from Carlisle. The subscribers' names appear on pp. ix - xxiv and amount to more than 1200 names, including the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, both of whom subscribed for two copies. In the preface, Miln notes that "power and prescription have hitherto been the great support of error" and that he has "implicitly followed the light of my own mind." He acknowledges a debt to a "Mr. Whitehurst" (possibly John Whitehurst, 1713-1788, the horologer) and Jean Andre Deluc (1727 - 1817), Lettres Physiques et Morales. Part of his argument is about the age of the world, which Miln claims is not, as supposed, many thousands of years, but of "no greater antiquity than what appears from the Mosaic account of it." Despite the large printing, ESTC on-line locates only seven copies of the work: L, Dm, E, and LVu in Britain; and CLU-C, NNUT, PPL in the United States. There is also a copy at NjP, and the work is probably more common than the ESTC listings suggest.
