Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anecdotes, Vol. 1: Religious, Moral, and Entertaining The Reverend Charles Buck was a Dissenting minister of South Britain, who died a few years since; a man of considerable erudition, of an inquisitive and discriminating mind and of fervent piety. His most elaborate work was his Theological Dictionary, which has passed through several editions and 18 still held in high and just esteem. Besides this lie published several volumes of Miscellanies, all of which have a considerable degree of merit, and have had a pretty extensive circulation. But of all his works, that which is here offered ta the public, and which forms a part of his Miscellanies, blends, the useful with the pleasant, in the greatest degree. Of his "Anecdotes Religious, Moral and Entertaining, alphabetically arranged and interspersed with a variety of useful observations," I hesitate not to say that I know of no work, which more happily unites instruction with entertainment. It requires no effort of the mind to be understood ∧ can wear no one by a long demand of attention to a particular subject. It cannot be read without interest, and it is, in every part calculated to leave an impression on the mind favourable to virtue, piety or benevolence. It instructs by example. It can be taken up at a leisure moment, and laid down at pleasure, without leaving a subject unfinished. All who read serious hook at all, I am ready to suppose, would like to have in their possession such a book as this.
