Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Memorial Edition of Collected Works of W. J. Fox<br/><br/>Imperfections will doubtless be detected in these volumes of many the author is sufficiently aware but he is less anxious to obtain the applause or to bespeak the candour of his readers for him self, than to win their sympathy in his subject. His desire is, by these and by any further efforts for which a gracious Providence may strengthen him, to recommend religion to mankind, not as consisting in mysterious or barren propositions, arbitrary enact ments, blind servility, and sectarian exclusiveness, but as a plan of rational instruction and moral improvement, with love for its vital principle, and universal happiness for its final result. Should the divine blessing enable him to do this efficiently, it will be to him an exceeding great reward.
