Preservative against Popery (also Preservation against Popery) is a name commonly given to a collection of anti-Catholic works published in 1738 by Edmund Gibson.
It drew largely on the literature of the "Romish Controversy" of the 1680s, in which Church of England controversialists made a case against what they saw as a present threat from Catholicism.
The original edition was in three folio volumes.
[2] The publication was supported by the British Reformation Society, part of the reaction to Tractarianism.
[3] Cumming, Richard Paul Blakeney and Martin Wilson Foye then edited a Supplement to the edition of Cumming, again for the British Reformation Society.
