of his father's doctrine of the atonement, namely, that Christ's
death, being the equivalent of the eternal punishment of sinners,
upheld the authority of the divine law, but did not pay any debt, and
made the pardon of all men a possibility with God, but not a
necessity.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.--There have been various editions of Edwards's works.
His pupil, Samuel Hopkins, in 1765 published two volumes from
manuscript containing eighteen sermons and a memoir; the younger
Jonathan Edwards with Dr Erskine published an edition in 4 volumes
(1744 sqq.), and Samuel Austin in 1808 edited an edition in 8 volumes.
In 1829 Sereno E. Dwight, a great-grandson of Edwards, published the
_Life and Works_ in 10 volumes, the first volume containing the
memoir, which is still the most complete and was the standard until
the publication (Boston, 1889) of _Jonathan Edwards_, by A. V. G.
Allen, who attempts to "distinguish what he (Edwards) meant to affirm
from what he actually teaches." In 1865 the Rev. Alexander B. Grosart
edited from original manuscripts _Selections from the Unpublished
Writings of Jonathan Edwards of America_ (Edinburgh, 1865, printed for
private circulation). This was the only part of a complete edition
planned by Grosart that ever appeared. It contained the important
Treatise on Grace, Annotations on the Bible, Directions for Judging of
Persons' Experiences, and Sermons, the last for the most part merely
in outline. E. C. Smyth published from a copy _Observations Concerning
the Scripture Oeconomy of the Trinity and Covenant of Redemption_ (New
York, 1880), a careful edition from the manuscript of the essay on the
Flying Spider (in the _Andover Review_, January 1890) and "Some Early
Writings of Jonathan Edwards," with specimens from the manuscripts (in
_Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society_, October, 1895). In
1900 on the death of Prof. Edwards A. Park, the entire collection of
Edwards's manuscripts loaned to him by Tryon Edwards was transferred
to Yale University. Professor Park, like Mr Grosart before him, had
been unable to accomplish the great task of editing this mass of
manuscript. "A Study of the Manuscripts of Jonathan Edwards" was
published by F. B. Dexter in the _Proceedings of the Massachusetts
Historical Society_, series 2, vol. xv. (Boston, 1902), and in the
same volume of the _Proceedings_ appeared "A Study o
