The British Essayists Vol 28 Of 45 PDF Download

Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 17 of 45: With Prefaces Biographical, Historical and Critical Let us then respect the happiness of our species. And in this light examine the proceedings of the free-thinkers. From what giants and monsters would these knight-errants undertake to free the world From the ties that religion imposeth on our minds, from the expectation of a future judgment, and from the terrors of a troubled conscience, not by the re forming men's lives, but by giving encouragement to their vices. What are those important truths of which they would convince mankind P That there is no such thing as a wise and just Providence; that the mind of man is corporeal; that religion is a state. Trick, contrived to make men honest and virtuous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
