Oxford: University Press, 1815. 8vo. Orig. calf with gilt-dec. spine with raised bands and morocco title-labels (hinges cracked but sound). (xii, 424pp.). 1st edition. Some foxing but a very good copy overall. NOTE: William van Mildert (1765-1836) was the last Prince-Bishop of Durham (1826-1836), and one of the founders of the University of Durham. This is his contribution to the Bampton Lectures, founded by English clergyman, John Bampton (1689-1751) and often cause for lively controversy.
