Natural Theology Or Evidences Of The Existence And Attributes Of The Deity Collected From The Appearances Of Nature With A Life Of The Author PDF Download

Excerpt from Natural Theology: Or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Collected From the Appearances of Nature It was the original design of the publishers to have merely attached the plates and references Of Paxton, which have been published m England and m this country in a separate volume, to the text of Dr. Paley. It Was, however, suggested to them that the value of their edition might be increased by the addition of Notes, and they had made arrangements for this purpose and were going on with the Work, when Mr. Paxton' s' edition of the Natural' Theology fell into their hands, containing, beside the plates, a cons1de1 able number of Notes. From these notes a selection has been' made of such as seemed most valuable and interesting. A' number of Notes have also been made up of quotations from the excellent treatise of Mr. Charles Bell on Animal Mechanics, published In the Library of Useful Knowledge a tract which cannot 'be too highly recommended to the perusal of those Who take pleasure m studying the indications of a wise and be nevolent Providence in the works Of creation.
