Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of William Paley, D.D, Vol. 1 of 4: And an Account of the Life and Writing of the Author It may be deemed, if not the duty, yet often the interest, of an editor or a biographer to keep himself out of sight; but I may seem so obviously chargeable with an affection of delicacy and scrupulosity if I pretend to only a silent not avail myself of a few words to explain the design with which it is sent out of my hands. In the space of nearly twenty years, it may be presumed all has been stated, which has any chance of coming before the public from any other source, respecting the Life and Writings of Dr. Paley; and that his works have undergone all the criticism of his contemporaries, as well as change of form and arrangement, which may have been thought requisite. Yet there is (necessarily perhaps from the way in which many of these editions have been compiled) enough of irrelevancy in the matter, and defect in the arrangement of these works, to dissatisfy any one who takes an interest in the name and memory of the author. How far indeed a son may suppose that his father cannot be recognized in what has already been made public in so many shapes, merely because he finds it at variance with his own feelings, will not be left to my decision; but if it be not a sort of filial presumption to feel a pride, as well as a property in a father´s name, I would fain think myself called upon to set his name and memory right with the public, or at least give a correct, and if possible, an improved edition of his works. As they at present stand, they are but poorly trimmed for posterity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
