Dr. Cudworth left several works in manuscript, only one of whiell has yet been published, namely, the ' Treatise concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality,' which appeared with a preface by Dr. Chandler. bishop of Durham, in 1731.

An abridgment of the 'Intellectual System ' was published in 1706 by Mr. Wise, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, iu 2 vole. 4to. in 1733 n Latin translation was published by Dr. Mosheim at Jena, in which the numerous errors in Cudworth's numerous quotations are corrected, and whose style is less complicated than that of the original; a French translation, which had been commenced by M. Bourdelin, a member of the French Academy, was prevented front being finiehtel by the death of the translator. 'That part of the' Intellectual System' which treats of the' plastic nature' gave rise to a coutrovet ay between Mr. Basile and M. Lo Caere; the former of whom contended that such an hypothesis went to allow the possibility of Hylazoiatu, while the latter defended Cudworth by representing it as a mere instrument of the Deity. M. Le Clerc'a articles, which are valuable commentaries on this part of Cudworth's work, are in the 'BibliethMue Choi ie,' torn. v., vi., vii, ix.
