Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Bible: For the Use of Young Persons
This little tract was written for my children; that when they begin to perceive the difficulties which occur in reading the Bible, they may be put in the way of discovering the explanation of them; and that they may be, in some degree, prepared to meet and answer the cavils of the infidel, and the pretensions of those who claim an exclusive right to the name of Christian.
A species of error, or what seems to me error, has lately sprung up anew in the world, after having been, again and again, banished from all rational society, viz mysticism, confounding the impression made upon us by the vague and the vast with profoundness of thought; confusing the operations of the understanding by suffering the feelings, the wishes, what are called the aspirations of the soul, to interfere with the intellect.
