subjects which can occupy the ^ inind ? of man , and there is none on which our iudgment ought to be farmed with greater attention ; hence there is none that should be more opjen to liberal disleussion . The vast variety of religious opinions which prevail in the yporjd ^ and the artful manner in which , the subiect
has in all ages bsea laid hold * of by designing men , are at onte proofs © f . the importance ( of tlie subject , and of die necessity that every man should thinjs ; and judge on it for hiiT ^ sclf . To answer jthis g ^ reat end it is proposed to provide a fund of rational religious information , by establishing A TMefagicai Library ill the city of Glasgow , to be open to all Who may be inclined 10 take the benefit of it , and subject tihemselves to the folio wing regulatiaas .
