The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press.

Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765.

This work by Philips covers the important topic of the nature of the church. Philips explains that salvation is only found in the Church. He demonstrates what the Church is; by what means men are added to the Church; the Author, or Efficient cause of this addition; the time and continuance of that work; and the happiness of those that are added to the Church. His text comes from Acts 2:47, "And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved." In this treatise he covers three branches to define the church, and then explains how the church ministers the salvation of God through Jesus Christ by the ministry of the Word, faith and baptism. This is an excellent work which is also a polemic against the Roman Catholic Church as well as heretical sects. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

What lies herein defies my description; better that you judge for yourself...at the very reasonable price, below. Nor can Wikipedia and Who's Who shed light on the author's credentials - billboard superlatives and famous fan endorsements don't exist to persuade you further (hence the room at the bottom). Fruitless too, searching for your name in the index: there isn't one. Either invest, out of curiosity, or opt for James Patterson's next (guaranteed) best-selling page-turner (left a bit...along the row of 'Ps'). Nice Guys Finish Last and Always the Bridesmaid had been done (in words...to music), and though Who cares who's 3rd isn't original (nor the theme, really), its front cover should tell you that this is about sport on the telly, basically - from Mexico City (and Bob Beamon), to the Greater London Urban Area (and Usain Bolt, you'd imagine). Those who've helped make it my journey of a lifetime are the real architects. John Philips
