A sammelband of predominantly devotional eighteenth-century publications, that is with the exception of a lesser known anti-Jacobite work by theologian and fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, Edward Bentham (1707-1776), Advices to a young man of fortune and rank, upon his coming to the University. In this slim but intense pamphlet, Bentham recalled members of the university to abide by their oaths of allegiance and abjuration following the Jacobite rising and public disturbances in the city during 1748.
