Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works of Joseph Priestley, LL. D. F. R. S. &C, Vol. 1 of 25: Containing Life and Correspondence (1787-1804) The epistolary part of this biography has so extended, as to preclude, were I prepared to attempt it, a recapitulation of the controversies in which Dr. Priestley engaged, the various censures to which his writings gave occasion, and the final determinations of his own judgment, especially on the most important questions of human interest. No small satisfaction on all these points may, however, be readily obtained, from numerous passages in the twenty-five volumes of his Works, and, above all, in the Memoirs and Correspondence. Yet it is scarcely possible not to regret, with Mr. Priestley, that his father´s important occupations during his last days, and his subsequent rapid decline, should have prevented the performance of his purpose, to leave behind him a farther Continuation of his Memoirs, including "a summary of his religious opinions," and "a statement of all that appeared to him essential to the Christian belief and the Christian character." To Mr. Priestley´s own Continuation I am too much indebted, not to employ the earliest occasion of complying with his request, on accepting the former part of this biography. After saying, "I still hope to be able to publish an uniform edition of the whole of my father´s Works," he adds, very kindly, "no one can feel more obliged to you than I do for collecting in one edition all my father´s theological works; nor have I suffered the idea that it might be the means of delaying the execution of my own plan, to lessen the sense of that obligation."
