BEING A LIST OF WORKS ON PREDESTINATION, ELECTION, REPROBATION, ORIGINAL SIN, THE FALL, FATE, PROVIDENCE, PRESCIENCE, THE ORIGIN OF EVIL, GRACE, REDEMPTION, FREE-WILL, NECESSITY, FINAL PERSEVERANCE, AND ASSURANCE,

WITH

BIOGRAPHICAL AND OTHER NOTES.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE,

THE Author has included in the Bibliography not only works on the Five Points, but also works on subjects immediately connected therewith, as for instance works on Fate, Providence, Prescience, Grace, Redemption, Necessity, Cause of Evil, The Fall, Assurance, &c.

Where the collected works of an author have been catalogued, or the particular work has been mainly on a different subject from any of those in the list, and the writer has only incidentally touched on one of the subjects included therein, the particular portion of the work where information may be found is usually pointed out.

The first editions are catalogued except where otherwise noted, and in the majority of cases the various editions stated. Notes have been added occasionally of a Biographical character, or with the object of indicating the views of the particular writer, and any special circumstances contributing to enhance the value of the work have been notified.

Works on the Bull Unigenitus, the Confessions of Faith generally, and the Formula Concordiæ, have not been catalogued, nor have works on the discussions between the Jesuits and Jansenists on the discipline of the Church. A very fine collection of these latter works will be found in the National Bibliotheque, Paris, such collection having formed part of the Library of the King of France. In short the Jansenists have not been followed to Holland, neither has their development into the Port Royalist been traced. It may be well to mention that there are some subjects somewhat allied to those included, which have been regarded as outside the limit which circumstances required the compiler to lay down for himself. Such are works on Faith, Salvation, The Atonement, Baptism, Regeneration, Justification, and such like.

The titles of the more important works catalogued have been given in full, particularly the earlier and rarer books, while those of lesser importance, or more modern, have been occasionally shortened.

A large proportion of the works catalogued have been personally inspected; and many of the rarest are in the Author's own library. No pains have been spared to make the list as complete and perfect as possible, but it need hardly be said that when its vast range of subjects is considered, the author would not for one moment pretend that he could not have considerably enlarged the list, had he been willing to expend the requisite labour. As it stands, he apprehends it is the largest collection of the kind ever brought together, and he ventures to hope that at least every work of importance will be found included.

The Author has to thank Mr. C. W. Sutton, Chief Librarian of the City of Manchester, for kindness in directing him to valuable sources of information, and generally for facilitating the consultation of various works of bibliographical importance. His thanks are also due to Mr. J. Taylor Kay, the courteous custodian of The Owens College Collection, and the Authorities of this College for special facility in consulting works of reference therein.
