Excerpt from The Arguments of the Emperor Julian: Against the Christians, Translated From the Greek Fragments Preserved by Cyril Bishop of Alexandria; To Which Are Added, Extracts From the Other Works of Julian Relative to the Christians

IN the present day many works are published with the openly avowed intention of destroying Christianity. I therefore feel it a duty in bringing a work opposed to Christianity before the Public, openly to declare that I do so in the interest and on behalf of Christianity. I cannot do better, before going further, than quote the words of that able writer and well known Bishop, Cardinal Wiseman. In one of his lectures on the Connection between Science and Revealed Religion,' (fifth edition, page 2 he writes, I must, however, premise some Observations, which may apply to other cases, in future lectures, as well as the one in hand. Is it useful, it may be asked, or is it wholesome, to bring before you objections against sacred and solemn truths, which have never been proposed to you, and of which you perhaps are ignorant?
