Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 17 of 45: With Prefaces Biographical, Historical and Critical Let us then respect the happiness of our species. And in this light examine the proceedings of the free-thinkers. From what giants and monsters would these knight-errants undertake to free the world From the ties that religion imposeth on our minds, from the expectation of a future judgment, and from the terrors of a troubled conscience, not by the re forming men's lives, but by giving encouragement to their vices. What are those important truths of which they would convince mankind P That there is no such thing as a wise and just Providence; that the mind of man is corporeal; that religion is a state. Trick, contrived to make men honest and virtuous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 17: With Prefaces, Historical and Biographical The sages, whom I have in my eye, speak of virtue as the most amiable thing in the world; but at the same time that they extol her beauty, they take care to lessen her portion. Such innocent creatures are they, and so great strangers to the world, that they think this a likely method to ih crease the number of her admirers. Virtue has in herself the most engaging charms and Christianity, as it places her in the strongest light, and adorned with all her native attractions, so it kindles a new fire in the soul, by adding to them the unutterable rewards which attend her votaries in an eternal state. Or if there are men ofa saturnine and heavy complexion, who are not easily lifted up by hepe, there is the prospect of everlasting punishments to agitate their souls, and frighten them into the practice of virtue, and an aversion from vice.

Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 24 of 40: With Prefaces, Biographical, Historical, and Critical; World, Vol; II All the fashionable part of mankind set out with the ambition of being thought men of taste. This is the present universal passion; but the mis fortune is, that, like sportsmen, who lose their hare and start conies, which lead them over warrens, where their horses break their legs, and ing their riders; so in the affair of taste, we frequently see men following some false scent, with the same ardour that they would have pursued the proper object of a chase, and with much greater inconveniences.

Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 1 of 40: With Prefaces, Biographical, Historical, and Critical Nothing is perhaps so difficult as to find out business proper for the idle; and, though it may appear paradoxical, yet I believe none have so much need Of it as they. The man who is professionally employed, in whatever department, goes on in the track which habit has marked out for him, at peace with his own thoughts and the world but he whom every passing moment reproaches with doing noth ing, must often fly for relief to very useless or very unworthy occupations. He will Often be dissipated without amusement, and intemperate without pleas ure, merely because dissipation is preferable to vacancy, and intemperance to listlessness.
