Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Vindication of the Paradise Lost From the Charge of Exculpating Cain: A Mystery
I have already disclaimed all design of attri buting secret motives, but we have a right to rea son upon what is exposed before us - and I have no hesitation. In saying, that the general impres sion conveyed by this preface, is any thing else than a desire to up-hold the authority of Scrip ture, either generally, _or in the particular portion of it which is intended to be dramatized. On the contrary, I think ground is therein taken, manifesdy to the disadvantage of revelation, and, to many a mind, by no means tenable. I come now, to the consideration. Of particular passages: always bearing in view, that it is the object of the advocate with whose argument I am at variance, not to inculpate Paradise Lost; but to lexculpate the 9' Mystery.
