"N . the good-will of such readers , if such readers there be * as &t& unconvinced fay his arguments * We consider the essays as a very valuable addition to the ? mass of excellent writing which our language possesses in favour of scriptural Christianity , and as such recommend them
most cordially to public notice . To the young and the enquinng they will be , we are persuaded , of incalculable service . We should rejoice to see them adopted by our Unitarian book societies ; no tracts in their catalogues are better suited to their object , and it is not too much to infer from the simplicity and conciseness with which they are drawn up , and the devotional
