Early ink ownership signature ("G. Courthop 1720/1") on front free endpaper. Glanvill, the best-known skeptic of his age, is generally referred to as a disciple of Henry More, the Cambridge Platonist, and as a precursor of David Hume, whose theory of causation is said to owe something to Glanvill. Despite his importance, Glanvill still seems to have been studied very little by historians of philosophy in the past fifty or sixty years. The present work is presented in the form of four sermons: I. "The Sin and Danger of Scoffing at Religion;" II. "The Church's Contempt from Prophane and Fanatick Enemies;" III. "Moral Evidence of a Life to come;" and IV. "The serious Consideration of the Future of Judgement." Glanvill's works are generally well represented in libraries and other repositories. The present title is less common than most, with nine copies listed in the British Isles and eight in North America. No copy is listed as having appeared at auction in the last twenty-five years by ABPC.
