xix, 478 p.; 22.5 cm. [Advance issue of third edition] (Blehl A2c) -- Newman's first book, dedicated to John Keble in 1833. On verso of title-page: LARGE PAPER. Fifty Copies printed for Private Circulation. -- On laid paper watermarked J Whitman; no publisher/printer named [trade issue: Third edition. London: E. Lumley, 1871, pr. by Gilbert and Rivington], binding unsigned. The sole deluxe edition among Newman's works. -- Invited by Hugh James Rose in March 1831 to write on the councils of the church, Newman by August was planning three or more volumes: 'What light would be thrown on the Nicene Confession merely by explaining it article by article? to understand it, it must be prefaced by a sketch of the rise of the Arian heresy' which he completed on 31 July 1832 (Ker, biography, p. 42-46) -- Between 1834-39 Newman wanted to rewrite this work (in 1842-44 he issued an annotated translation of Select treatises of S. Athanasius.in controversy with the Arians) but in 1854 merely authorized a literal reprinting. -- He wrote to Dean Church in August 1870 'I am sending out a new edition of my 'Arians.' Did I touch its structure, it would come to pieces, so I am doing nothing but removing some of the imperfections of style, and adding (a very) few notes; with two or three long bits in an Appendix from other works of mine. Though I have done so little to it, it has taken me a good deal of time.' (Letters and Diaries 25, 183). Of this limited edition, B. M. Pickering informed Newman on 10 July 1873 that 'Mr Lumley sold all the octavo or large paper copies to one bookseller' who did not number them serially. (LD 26, 336n2) -- [The fourth edition of 1876 was reset with an addition to note V, then stereotyped for later impressions] Near fine full olive-brown morocco. All edges brightly gilt.
