(Printed by R. & G.S. Wood, New-York for) Jonathan Leavitt; and Crocker & Brewster, Boston: 1834., 1834 pp. [4], 368. 12mo. 250 mm. Foxed. Original cloth backed paper boards binding. Spine and paper title label chipped. Hardbound. Very good. With the ownerships of James P. Smart; and the Library of the U.P. Theological Seminary, Xenia, Ohio. Smart was born in Huntingdon, PA; graduated and studied theology at Canonsburg; was licensed a Presbyterian minister in 1837; and was many years pastor of the Associate Congregation of Massie's Creek, Ohio where he died in 1861. On the title page there is an ink inscription: James P. Smart. Presented to the Associate Society of Inquiry." From the Preface: "More than twelve years ago the Author projected a work which should at one view exhibit the several principal forms of spurious or corrupted religion. But discouraged. he abandoned the undertaking. Nevertheless the subject continually pressed upon his mind. At length he selected a single portion of the general theme, and adventured - Natural History of Enthusiasm [1829]. Emboldened to proceed. Yet fearing lest, by an unskillful or unadvised treatment of certain arduous matters. he might create embarrassment where most he desired to do good, he laid aside his materials. But in the interval, by extending his researches concerning the rise and progress of the fatal errors that have obscured our holy religion, the Author greatly enhanced his wish to achieve his first purpose. He therefore resumed Fanaticism; which is now offered to the candour of the Reader. He next proposes, inadvancing towards the completion of his original design, to take in hand Superstition, and its attendant Credulity. A natural transition leads from Superstition and Credulity to Spiritual Despotism. The principal perversions of Religion having thus been reviewed, it would be proper to describe that Corruption of Morals which, in different modes, has resulted from the overthrow of genuine piety. There would then only remain to be considered Scepticism, or Philosophic Irreligion; and the series willembrace all that the Author deems indispensable to the undertaking he has so long meditated." Scarce first U.S. Edition. PA 29 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Very Good.
