Book Description

Excerpt from The Temple of Truth, or the Best System of Reason, Philosophy, Virtue, and Morals, Analytically Arranged Thus much by way of apology, and in order to conciliate that liberal sentence from the perusal of the subsequent stric' tures, which I am anxious they should re ceive; especially, as they profess to con tain, what either commands the highest regard, or else, what may be thrown aside, as a matter of indifference and more lite rary amusement. For, in this instance, there is, what seldom occurs, n'o medium, no other alternative. Either they are' the intellectual dream of a misguided imagina tion, or, they should engage the utmost powers and faculties of the human soul.
