Excerpt from Treatises on Various Theological Subjects, Published at Different Times, and Now Collected Into Volumes, Vol. 2: Essays on the Most Important Subjects in Religion; An Evening Prayer for a Family
Tn original design of this compendious work was, in some respects, difi'erent from the direction which it took during the course of its publication. The author intended, by a series of Essays, each comprised in a single number, to guard the minds of young people, especially, against the infidelity and scepticism of modern times, as well as to give a distinct view of the grand peculiarities and excellent ten dency of genuine christianity. He purposed, not to be strictly methodical, argumentative, or systematic: but to treat a variety of subjects in a familiar, easy, and engaging manner. The attempt, however, soon convinced him, that he had not the requisite talents for Essays of this description; and that he must leave it to persons of a more versatile and happy genius, to furnish that species of publication which seems most suited to the present circumstances and best adapted to the taste of modem readers.
