Excerpt from The Evidences of the Christian Religion

Defences of Religion are numerous, it is true but so also are the attacks upon Religion: nor is the present a period of the world in which any thing that is valuable, of the former kind, should be suffered to fall into oblivion.

The influence of a name may sometimes begin a conversion, which further enquiry, aided by the divine blessing, may bring to the happiest effects. The name of Addison deserves as much attention as can be allowed to human authority. Sagacity, knowledge, an active genius, and a pure heart give us all the pledge we can desire of the skill of his researches, and the honesty of his report. His little tract on "the Evidences of Christianity" has therefore had, deservedly, a most extensive circulation.
