Hopkins, Samuel:

AN INQUIRY CONCERING [sic] THE FUTURE STATE OF THOSE WHO DIE IN THEIR SINS: WHEREIN THE DICTATES OF SCRIPTURE AND REASON, UPON THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT, ARE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED; AND WHETHER ENDLESS PUNISHMENT BE CONSISTENT WITH DIVINE JUSTICE, WISDOM AND GOODNESS: IN WHICH ALSO OBJECTIONS ARE STATED AND ANSWERED. BY...PASTOR OF THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN NEWPORT.

Newport, Rhode-Island: Printed by Solomon Southwick, 1783. [4], vi, 194 pp. Errata at page 194. Toned with spotted early leaves, in later half black cloth and marbled paper over boards. Good or so.

Hopkins is known "for his profound influence on New England theology. The pupil and intimate friend of Jonathan Edwards, he carried the principles of the New Divinity to their logical conclusions. This he did in a fashion so complete and acceptable to large numbers of thinking men of his day that his school of thought was called 'Hopkinsianism'" [DAB].
