As the entries reveal, the collection is especially strong in religious writing. This, of course, reflects Professor [J Max] Patrick's abiding interest in theology and intellectual history. It also reflects the spirit of seventeenth-century England: "more than two-fifths of the books printed in England from 1480 to 1640 were religious, and for the years 1600-40 the percentage is still higher." ... In addition to religion, the collection also collects books covering a wide range of subjects and genres: biography, history, government, philosophy, art, architecture, agriculture, geography, poetry, and drama." - Foreword. ; xii, 72 pages.
