Hardcover. xx, 169 p.; 22.5 cm. (English theological library) [First printed with the collected works in 1781, separately in 1789] The editor quotes from Matthew Arnold's preface to Culture and Anarchy, 1869: 'But Bishop Wilson's Maxims deserve to be circulated as a religious book, not only by comparison with the cartloads of rubbish circulated at present under this designation, but for their own sake, and even by comparison with the other works of the same author. Over the far better known Sacra Privata they have this advantage, that they were prepared by him for his own private use, while the Sacra Privata were prepared by him for the use of the public. The Maxims were never meant to be printed, and have on that account, like work of, doubtless, far deeper emotion and power, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, something peculiarly sincere and first-hand about them.'
