Preservative against Popery

Preservative against Popery (also Preservation against Popery) is a name commonly given to a collection of anti-Catholic works published in 1738 by Edmund Gibson. It drew largely on the literature of the "Romish Controversy" of the 1680s, in which Church of England controversialists made a case against what they saw as a present threat from Catholicism. The original edition was in three folio volumes.[1]

19th-century edition (1848–49)

John Cumming made an edition in the 1840s. In 18 volumes, it collected up extra tracts.[2] The publication was supported by the British Reformation Society, part of the reaction to Tractarianism.[3]
