A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lordship is one of its members; and I am persuaded that any effort in the cause of letters and religion coming from that quarter, will have for you an interest beyond what it would otherwise possess. The subject proposed to me was limited; my prescribed object is to lead the friends of religion to look with confidence and pleasure on the progress of the physical sciences, by showing how admirably every advance in our knowledge of the universe harmonizes with the belief of a most wise and good God. To do this effectually may be, I trust, a useful labour. Yet, I feel most deeply, what I would take this occasion to express, that this, and all that the speculator concerning Xatural Theology can do, is utterly insufficient for the great ends of Religion; namely, for the purpose of reforming mens lives, of purifying and elevating their characters, of preparing them for a more exalted state of being.
