high encomium is passed on Dfr , Johnsom After a vfery learned ' imd long preface , in which the systems of polytheism ^ of the theocracy of the * fep *| of Christianity , Mahom ^ tanism and \ 0 eism are discussed he informs his readers that they are indebted entirely to the English moralists
for the system of ethica which follows ; and he conchideswith airigh compliment to the British nation ^ in which he alludes to certain ill-treatment received from his own .
