'an important contribution to our understanding of not only deism but also the religious climate of eighteenth-century England ... essential reading.' English Historical Review 'Hudson's book (and his first volume [The English Deists]) should be seen as essnetial reading for those concerned with placing England's deists into the British Enlightenment.'

This title claims that these writers advocated a failed ideology which itself declined after 1730. It argues for an evolution of their ideas into a more modern form.
