Thus, in a letter to Mr. Lindsey, dated Jan 16, 1804," probably the last letter he ever wrote, Dr. Priestley says,- "I think I told you, some time ago, I compiled a large alphabetical index to all the books of the Old and New Testament. This I transcribed twice with my own hand, besides writing it first in short hand. I hope it will be found useful if it be published. I have sent it to the booksellers in Philadelphia, asking nothing for my labour. I hope that some of them will undertake it." Then, as if feeling "his ruling passion strong in death," he adds, "If my health continue as it is now, (though you little imagine how weak I am,) I shall be glad to superintend an edition of the Bible, from the late versions, and to correct some of them where I can No. III. A CATALOGUE OF SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT ARE QUOTED IN 'DISQUISITIONS RELATING TO MATTER AND SPIRIT." 1782. 66 (See Vol. III. p. 217, note.) As there are different editions of several of the books that I have quoted in this treatise, it will be proper to subjoin a list of the copies that I have made use of. It will also be proper to give more at length the titles of some books that I have frequently referred to very concisely, having sometimes mentioned nothing more than the name of the writer. This has been more especially the case with Beausobre and Dupin, to both of whom, and especially the former, I am much indebted for my historical account of the opinions of the ancients. And I would observe in this place, that when I might, with no great trouble, have given those opinions from the original authors themselves, I have often chosen to give them as reported by such writers as these; because, as these things have been very differently represented, I was confident that the opinion of these writers would be more respected than my own, their learning and exactness being universally acknowledged; and their views in writing having been different from mine, they cannot be suspected of partiality to my hypothesis. As there are different editions of many of the authors that I have quoted, I shall here give a catalogue of the principal of them. Whenever I have quoted Beausobre, without mentioning any particular work, it is his Histoire de Manichéisme, 2 vols. 4to, 1734; and Basnage, quoted in the same manner, is his Histoire de la Religion des Eglises Reformées, 2 vols. 4to, 1725. In like manner, Anecdotes, in the references, always means Anecdotes Ecclésiastiques, which is extracted from Giannone's History of Naples, a work of the highest authority. When only the word Sueur or Fleury occurs in the reference, the place will always be found under the year mentioned in the text. With respect to the other works I have quoted, no mistake of the edition can well be made; and with respect to all ancient writers, I have almost always quoted the book and chapter, &c., as well as the page. As I have quoted Fleury's Discourses on Ecclesiastical History, it will be proper to observe that my edition of his history is that of Brussels, in 33 vols. 12mo, and that these Discourses are prefixed to the following volumes, viz. the 8th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th.
