1 p.

London, 1723-31

OF GREAT RARITY AND IMPORTANCE, and seldom found together as above in the original binding. The importance of the Checkley trial in the history of the freedom of the press in America can scarcely be overestimated. Henry Stevens in his "Historical Nuggets" states "Considerable interest attaches to this very rare book in consequence of the alarm that it raised in New England and the litigation that ensued. It contains Leslie's "Short and Easie Method with the Deists' but with the preface omitted? Instead is appended "A Discourse concerning Episcopacy" (by John Checkley), wherein he endeavors to prove that Dissenters not being episcopally ordained are no ministers and comments rather harshly on the Church Courses of New England. This naturally gave great offence and Checkley was prosecuted in 1724 for publishing a false and scandalous libel. He was convicted." His Speech is given in the second item, above. The Third tract was published without title-page or imprint. Stevens says that it was probably published in London soon after Mr. Checkley's trial. The point has been advanced by a noted bibliographer that the above four tracts were published secretly in Boston and that imprints are fictitious. Stevens collection, not together in the original binding, was priced (1862) at £8-0-0.
