Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Abridgment of the Light of Nature Pursued, Originally Published, Vol. 1 of 7
There are two considerations which seem ne cessary to be attended to in abridging any author; the size of the work, rendering it in accessible to the generality of readers, and the merit of the work, rendering it desirable that it should be within every one's reach. It is easy to perceive, that these two conditions are not always united: there are some works whose only merit seems, to be, that they are so large that nobody can read them; whose ponderous bulk, and formidable appearance, happily serve as a barrier to keep out the infection of their dulness.
