By EDWARD RYAN, D. D.
Prebendary of St. Patrick's, Dublin.
Third Edition, corrected and enlarged.
The following commendations of the former Editions of this
Work are respectfully submitted to the Public :
" It must certainly serve very much to confirm the authority
of Christianity, and to establish a full conviction of its value, if
it can be clearly proved, not only from general reasoning on the
nature of its doctrine, that its tendency is useful, but also from a
direct appeal to Historical facts, that its actual operation on man-
kind has been highly beneficial. This is the laudable undertaking
in whi.ia Dr. Ryan has engaged; and ke has, in the present vo-
lume, laboured with much increased industry in searching for
materials to establish his point in civil and ecclesiastical history,
and in the writings of celebrated l'hitosophers and Divines. We
repeat that we are of opinion that Dr. Ryan is entitled to cont.
mendation fur the pains which he has taken to prove what,: on
the whole, appears fairly admissible, that the actual operation of
Religion in general, and of Christianity In particuyar, in the
midst of all the perversions and corruptions which thky hate suf-
fered, has been beneficial to mankind.'
