Title continues: "Written and Published by the most Eminent Divines of the Church of England, chiefly in the Reign of King James II." "Preservative against Popery" is the name commonly given to this collection of anti-Catholic works published in 1738 by Edmund Gibson. Gibson (1669 1748) was a divine who served as Bishop of Lincoln and Bishop of London, as well as being a jurist and antiquary. The books, however, are a compilation of numerous controversial writings of eminent Anglican divines, dating chiefly from the period of James II.
