The first edition of a pamphlet decrying 'Presbyterian Prejudice' by Church of England clergyman Zachary Grey (1688-1766). A staunch anti-puritan campaigner, Grey was a dedicated collector of Civil Wartime republican pamphlets - a breadth of reading which can be seen in his numerous polemics against Puritan historians and ministers, among them A Vindication of the Church of England (1720) and The Spirit of Infidelity Detected (1735). Grey later turned to literary efforts, publishing editions of Samuel Butler's Hudibras and Shakespeare, to which he appended numerous notes attempting to identify the works more explicitly with anti-republican sentiment.
