Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works of Joseph Priestley, Vol. 5
Dr. Pries'tley, as he has mentioned in his own Preface, designed to have added this History, as a fourth Volume to the-institutes, on their first publication in 1771. But, other occupations intervened, till his materials became sufficient for a larger Work, and he had an increasing conviction of its utility and importance. His metaphysical discussions had led him still farther to consider the questions concerning the nature of Christ nor during his excursion to the Con tinent in 177 4, could he have failed to perceive the corrupt forms of religion under papal establishments, and their in fluence to foster the prejudices, and to increase the number of unbelievers.
