" Let me take this opportunity of commending, as I ought to
do, most sincerely and most ardently, a work, to which the well-
wishen to genuine Christianity and our Ecclesiastical Establish-
ment, are indebted. The writer's statement of facts, his arguments
from reason and Scripture, and his animatod descriptions of charac-
ters, do honour to the elegance of his taste, the vigour of his under-
standing, and the soundness of his moral and religious principles.
They will preserve, I trust, many well-meaning and attentive
readers from the sorceries which might be practised upon their
credulity and their piety."--Cllr. Parr's Characters of Charles
James Fox, vol. 2, p. 817.)
