Whately was a leading Broad Churchman and was an Archbishop of Dublin. He is credited as being one of the first reviewers to recognise Jane Austen's talents. In a recent quarter cloth binding. With paper covered boards. Externally, fine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Just the odd spot. Fine. Seller Inventory # 754L18

8vo: [viii] + 62 + [ii] pp. Good, though a little dogeared and discoloured, with slight wear at foot of final leaf. Half-title (with quotation from Strauss's 'Leben Jesu' on reverse) and (discoloured) final leaf of publisher's advertisements. Disbound. The author is described on the title-page as ''Rev. Aristarchus Newlight, Phil. Dr. of the University of Giessen; Corresponding Member of the Theophilanthropic and Pantisocratical Societies of Leipsig; Late Professor of All Religions in several distinguished Academies at home and abroad, etc. etc. etc.' Scarce: apart from at the British Library, COPAC only lists copies at Bristol and the National Library of Scotland. A spoof, of course, and a follow-up to Whately's 'Historic Doubts relative to Napoleon Bonaparte' (1846). Seller Inventory # 5969
