In which Vindication - The Secret History of his Life, Conversation and Doctrines - is set in a True Light, and his Low-Church and Fanatick Accusers, are characteriz'd and detected. In a letter to Doctor Calamy a Dissenting Minister. To which is added, Killing no Sin, or a Panegyrick upon Mr. William Richardson, for attempting to murder his Wife and Mother (of which they have made Affidavit).

Containing a complete collection, and account, of the most distinguished artists, who have flourished in the art of painting, at Rome, Venice, Naples, Florence, and other cities of Italy; in Holland, Flanders, England, Germany, or France; from the year 1250, when the art of painting was revived by Cimabue, to the year 1767; including above five hundred years, and the number of artists amounting to near one thousand four hundred.

The whole being digested in a more easy and instructive method, than hath hitherto appeared; and calculated for general entertainment and instruction, as well as for the particular use of the admirers and professors of the art of painting. By the Rev. M. Pilkington, A.M. vicar of Donabate and Portraine, in the diocese of Dublin.
