This discussion outlines the compilation of a specialized 19th-century pastoral bibliography centered on the *Ars Moriendi* (The Art of Dying) literary tradition, which contrasts the final moments of believers and non-believers to demonstrate the power of faith. Key figures in this genre include Davis W. Clark, John Gregory Pike, and John Warburton, whose works served as evangelistic tools and pastoral guides. A focal point of the research is the rare 1807 Middlebury pamphlet, *The Contrast; or, The Death-Bed of a Free Thinker and a Christian Contrasted*, which physically pairs the harrowing, despair-filled demise of the skeptic Sir Francis Newport with the triumphant, ecstatic deathbed testimony of Presbyterian minister Dr. Samuel Finley—a historical text that can be reviewed via institutional databases like HathiTrust or downloaded in full PDF format through widespread 19th-century regional reprints.
