Alexander Arscott, Some Considerations Relating to the Present State of the Christian Religion

Philadelphia: Reprinted by B. Franklin, Printing-Office, 1732. Two parts bound in one. 111, [1]: 140, 131pp.

This imprint was bound by Stephen Potts and is the earliest Franklin imprint in the collection in which all of the craftsmen involved in its production can be identified. The work is in two parts, and is complete. Although Miller assigns a single entry for both parts of Arscot's work, Evans gives each part a separate entry, and the American Antiquarian Society has only part one, pointing to the possibility that not all copies were bound up together. A charming and quite early Franklin imprint.

Rare to the trade. RareBookHub lists only 11 copies at auction between 1904 and 2008, and Sotheby's offered a three-part set in the Snider sale of June 2026. The Library Company holds two copies of Part I.
