A very desirable post-millennial text, including Edwards' important contribution, that of his theological disciple, Joseph Bellamy, and a final contribution by David Austin. Austin's work, though the least known, significant in that he attempts to explicitly tie the events of the late 1t8th century in America to the book Revelation 18.

This copy retains the rare frontis of Jonathan Edwards, engraved by Amos Doolittle. No copies on the market at the time of cataloging. The book offered at auction just twice since 1957. 

Contents include:
