ADVERTISEMENT. THE present edition of the Works of Paley was intended to combine together, in one handsome volume, all the published labours of that great man—uniting closeness of arrangement with clearness and beauty of type. This Edition is also furnished with copious Notes, marking, for instance, the discoveries of science, illustrative of the existence of a Divine Contriver, or Creator, which have been made since Paley produced his immortal "Natural Theology;" and Biographical Sketches of those of the Author's friends who patronized or assisted him, or whose works he has quoted, have been added; the Editor being anxious that nothing should be omitted which would render the volume more acceptable to the Public. June, 1838. |
