Author Description

Excerpt from The Analogy of Religion: Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature Bishop Halifax to his edition of 1787, is the most valuable, as it is the best known. In the following sheets, a more detailed review, or summary, of the work is attempted, with a similar design: with what success must be left to the judgment of the public. If it aids in forming some idea of the general rea soning of the work, it will accomplish all that was designed. It cannot, indeed, for nothing can, give a just impression of Butler, but Butler himself. It is not intended to supersede the mighty master, whom it only introduces.
