The History of Transubstantiation was originally com posed in the year 1656, i. E. Nineteen years before its first publication in 1675, when Cosin was residing at Paris du ring the troubles of the Rebellion. Dr. Durel's preface to the work, as published, contains some interesting particulars of its history, which are confirmed and explained by the letter of Gilbert. Talbot to Cosin, requesting himwto write on the subject, and Cosin's reply. These letters are now first printed, pp. 6, 7, from Bp. Cosin's mss. At Durham: and from them it appears that the work originated in the at tempts 'of Jesuits, and others of the Roman communion, to make proselytes among the loyalists who attended Charles II. In his court abroad, and particularly to subvert the king himself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
