The Progress of Religious Ideas,

Through Successive Ages. 3 vols. 12mo.

"My motive for writing has been a very simple one; I wished to show that theology is not religion, with the hope that I might help to break down partition walls; to ameliorate what the eloquent Bushnell calls baptized hatreds of the human race.' · Those who wish to obtain candid information, with

out caring whether it does or does not sustain any favourite theory of their own, may perhaps thank me for saving them the trouble of searching through large and learned volumes; and if they complain of want of profoundness, they may be willing to accept simplicity and clearness in exchange for depth." iii
