• 17th-century Roman Catholic and Protestant controversial theology
• A wide range of 17th-century French theology
• A superb collection of 18th-century Anglican sermons, though Presbyterian, Quaker, and Methodist material is less well represented
• Massively strong holdings in 19th-century Anglican works
• An extensive range of 19th-century non-Conformist tracts
