ON THE POWER WISDOM AND GOODNESS OF GOD, AS MANIFESTED IN THE ADAPTATION OF EXTERNAL NATURE TO THE MORAL AND TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND RIGHT REVEREND CHARLES JAMES, LORD BISHOP OF LONDON. MY LORD, YOUR Lordship's personal kindness to myself would alone have inclined me to solicit for this work the honour of your patronage and name. But I must further confess the peculiar satisfaction which I feel, in offering it as a tribute and a public acknowledgment of my admiration for an order of men, who, more than all others, have enriched by their labours the moral and theological literature of England. |
